Pac-12 teams in the region including California, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, and Washington State.
Jones is second on the Huskies in total points scored with an average of 3.93 per set. She has 343 kills on the season with a .282 attack percentage, and leads the Huskies with 36 aces and is second on the team in total blocks with 115 or 1.03 per set. All her stats rank as career highs across the board.
Schwan leads the team in kills and points, averaging 3.75 kills per set and 4.13 points per set. The Pac-12 Player of the Year has a .312 attack percentage and also averages 2.78 digs per set. Schwan has led the Huskies in kills in 20 matches this season. She is the fourth Husky ever named Pac-12 Player of the Year.
Tanner earns her first All-Region honor after leading the Huskies to a .271 attack percentage this season. She averages 10.99 assists per set and is third on the team in service aces with 24. After splitting setting duties the past two years with 2015 grad Katy Beals, Tanner moved into a six-rotation role this year and has thrived. She has seven matches this season with 50+ assists. Tanner is also averaging career-bests in digs (2.04) and blocks (0.62).
