WINGATE, N.C. – The annual Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-Southeast Region Volleyball Teams were unveiled on Wednesday morning. Converse University Libero Mackenzie Day (Columbia, S.C.) earned First Team All-Southeast Region honors.
 
Day is the first Valkyrie to be named to the All-Southeast Region Volleyball Team this decade. Earlier this season, Day became the first volleyball athlete to earn Defensive Player of the Year honors since the Valkyries joined Conference Carolinas back in 2008. The graduate student was instrumental in the Valkyries championship run in the Conference Carolinas Tournament. Following the Valkyries tournament championship, Day earned Conference Carolinas All-Tournament Team honors and was named Conference Carolinas Tournament MVP.
 
The Palmetto State native is currently second in the nation in total digs (721) and ranks fifth nationally in digs per set (5.81). Earlier this season, Day broke the school record for career digs with 1,973 and counting.
 
Day and the rest of the Valkyries volleyball team will be back in action this Friday evening at Wingate University. The Converse volleyball team is participating in their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and will play top-seeded Wingate at 7:00 p.m.
