After winning a fourth straight state championship, it should come as no surprise that the Bishop Lynch Lady Friars also cleaned up in the postseason awards.

Yesterday, the 2015 All-District and All-State lists were released, with more than a few Lady Friars receiving recognition.

Four were chosen for the TAPPS 5A All-State Team, including seniors Francesca Goncalves and Cat Balido. Joining them on the 1^st Team is junior Callie Williams, while sophomore Madi Tyus was chosen for the 2^nd Team.

Goncalves — a Florida State University signee for sand volleyball — racked up 363 kills and 275 digs for the Lady Friars, who finished 38-8 this season. She led the team with 58 service aces.

Balido — who signed with Boston College last week — led the team with 385 kills and 24 blocks. Williams posted team-highs in assists (720) and digs (327), while serving 51 aces.

Tyus — the reigning Newcomer of the Year in Texas — elevated her status with 324 kills and 283 digs, helping the Lady Friars finish the season ranked No. 4 in the state among all schools — public and private.

All four of these Lady Friars received All-Tournament honors during the Final Four in San Antonio last weekend. The team swept both Concordia Lutheran and Ursuline Academy to win another state title.

Danielle Nevitt earned 2^nd Team All-District recognition after tallying 323 digs as a defensive specialist for the Lady Friars. Kipp totaled 175 kills and 22 blocks to also make the 2^nd Team and Heigele finished the year with 537 assists and 254 digs to receive honorable mention.

Tricia Roos was named Coach of the Year by District 1-5A.
