On Wednesday, Texas A&M University-Commerce senior middle blocker Colleen Favaro was named to the First Team Daktronics Division II All-Southwest Region Volleyball Team.

Favaro was a four-time all-Lone Star Conference selection, including first team honors as a junior and as senior. She set the A&M-Commerce school record for kills with 1,793 kills as a senior. Favaro is currently seventh in the nation and leads the Lone Star Conference with 4.86 kills per game. Favaro also ranks 17th in the LSC and 337th in the nation in hitting percentage (.234). She also was a three-time Lone Star Conference co-Offensive Player of the Week in 2007.
