The AVCA is proud to announce its 44th annual All-America teams for NCAA Division II women’s volleyball.

The 2025 All-Americans include 42 players—14 on the first, second, and third teams—from 29 schools, and 117 honorable mention selections. Two programs have three players on those teams: Point Loma (one on the first-, second-, and third-team) and Missouri-St. Louis (two first-team picks and a third-team selection).

The 2025 AVCA Freshman of the Year is Valeriya Kozlova of Barry. The outside hitter had 475 kills, averaged 5.48 points per set, and she hit .351. She helped the Bucs to a 25-5 record, and the team was ranked in the top 5 of the AVCA Poll every week since early October.

Abi Nua of Point Loma earns her third All-America award, as she’s made the first-team the past two seasons after being a third-team pick in 2022. Caitlin Bishop of Missouri-St. Louis and Peyton Neff also are two-time, first-team All-Americans. Three third-team selections—Elizabeth Blinn of Bentley, Anna Coulter of East Stroudsburg, and Mikayla Weiss of Fresno Pacific—become the first players in their respective school’s history to make one of the three AVCA All-America teams.

Freshman of the Year: Valeriya Kozlova, Barry University, OH
Player of the Year: Makenna Nold, Concordia University-St. Paul, RS, So.
Coach of the Year: to be announced Dec. 11
Assistant Coach of the Year: to be announced Dec. 11
