"With only 12 players recognized among the many talented athletes out there, it is truly an honor to see Vivianna's hard work pay off. After an injury to our setter from 2021, she came to our program and had to not only learn our offense and style of play, but also had to make a quick transition from high school to the college level of play. Her and her teammates worked so hard this year and this honor is a testament of a total 'Team First' attitude where each player worked for and played for each other. I could not be prouder of Vivianna and her teammates."

Cowley won the Plains B District championship and finished sixth in the NJCAA DII national tournament with Solis leading in the rotation.
