The AVCA has formally announced their 37th annual AVCA All-American Teams for NCAA Division III. The awards will be presented on November 15 in Grand Rapids, Michigan at Calvin College during the NCAA Division III Women’s National Championship banquet.
Highlighting this year’s awards are a number of repeat players to the All-American teams including Calvin’s setter Jenna Lodewyk who is taking home her fourth AVCA All-American honor with a second-team distinction. Illinois Wesleyan’s Tyler Brown, Gustavus Adolphus’ Nora Holtan, Calvin’s Anna Kamp and the reigning national player of the year out of Northwestern (MN) Lindsey Peterson each repeated as AVCA First-Team All-Americans.
This year’s Division III AVCA Freshman of the Year comes in Steph Judkins from Cabrini. Judkins is the first AVCA All-American in programs history after posting 3.68 kills per set on a .258 hitting clip for the year with 2.64 digs per set as well.
