NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Atlantic 10 Conference today announced its 2019 Women's Tennis All-Conference Awards, with Duquesne senior Julianne Herman (Philadelphia, Pa.) garnering a First Team nod and junior Laurel Shymansky (Pittsburgh, Pa.) picking up Second Team accolades.

VCU's Paola Exposito Diaz-Delgado was named A-10 Performer of the Year while Jodie Lawrence-Taylor of UMass was Most Outstanding Rookie Performer and VCU's Paul Kostin Coach of the Year.

Herman earns her fourth consecutive all-conference selection and third straight first-team honor, joining former teammate Kylie Isaacs as the only Duquesne players to be named to the all-conference team all four seasons.

She caps her career with 91 singles wins and 92 doubles victories, both good for second in program history. Her 183 total wins also sit second in school history, as does her 0.835 career singles winning percentage.
