Tullis-Joyce Named Second Team All-ACC

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Wrapping up her illustrious career in style, University of Miami soccer goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce earned her first postseason All-ACC accolade, as announced Thursday by the conference.
 
The redshirt senior was tabbed as Second Team All-ACC selection as voted by the league’s head coaches.

“I am very greatful for all of the positive feedback I have received from the ACC coaches these past five years after conference games, including this particular recognition,” Tullis-Joyce said. ” I respect each coaches’ opinions greatly and it’s been an honor to play against them and their teams.”
 
A stalwart in net, Tullis-Joyce finished her senior season with a career-high 85 saves, including an ACC-leading 4.72 saves per game. Even more dominant in conference action, the Shoreham, N.Y., native registered 56 saves in 10 matches, including a program record 17 saves at North Carolina on Oct. 21.
 
Ending the season on a high note, the redshirt senior led the Hurricanes to a 1-0 victory over ninth-ranked Florida State last Thursday, registering seven saves to earn her second-career ACC Defensive Player of the Week distinction.
 
Against the Seminoles, Tullis-Joyce arguably made the biggest save of the season with only 10 seconds remaining in regulation of a scoreless match. Off of a cross, FSU’s Dallas Dorosy found herself in front of the net sending a header towards the bottom right corner. However, the quick reactions of Tullis-Joyce allowed her to get a hand on the ball and send the match into overtime.
 
Overall, the Shoreham, N.Y., native closed out her illustrious career with 62 starts and ranks in the top-three all-time in numerous categories, with 24 wins (third), 14 shutouts (tied for second), 259 saves (third) and 5,584 minutes in net (second).
