FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.  – Following a First Team All-Sunshine State Conference selection, Nova Southeastern's outside hitter Denvyr Tyler-Palmer has earned a spot on both the D2CCA All-South Region First Team and AVCA All-South Region Team.
 
"It's not often you see athletes selected for AVCA All Region Teams without making the NCAA tournament, so this is a testament to how highly regarded Denvyr is in our region," boasted head coach Jennifer King. "I appreciate my fellow coaches seeing her as we do; an immensely talented athlete with the ability to put her team on her back night in and night out, all while having an amazing attitude and great leadership."
 
Finding her name associated with SSC postseason honors for the past three seasons, Tyler-Palmer grabbed her first all-region nod after a stellar junior season. The Jacksonville, Fla. native not only led Nova Southeastern with her 4.99 kills-per-set average, but the conference as a whole. This number also put her in the top spot in the NSU record books for kills per set in an individual season.
 
Kills per set isn't the only category that she inked her name in during 2017, as her 484 kills ranks her second place all-time. For her career, she has accumulated 1,248 total kills, putting her at No. 3 all-time, with a year left to go.
 
Tyler-Palmer collected 11 double-doubles on the season, and hit a season-high 32 kills against Tusculum on Sept. 2.
