Alyssa Dozier was named a Second Team All-American as announced by the AVCA on Tuesday.
Sammy Carroll was named an honorable mention for the fourth straight season.
Dozier was one of the nation's best all-around players in 2023. The Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Year led the league in hitting percentage (.345) and points (446.5). She also had 345 kills and 108 blocks, the latter total ranks 17th on the Division III charts this season. She's the first Captain to take home Second Team All-American honors since Rachel Conway in 2015.Â
Carroll finished the season with 1274 assists, the most in her career and the fifth-most in school history. She also added 298 digs, 41 blocks, and 64 service aces. Carroll averaged 9.88 assists per set and posted a season high of 59 assists in the win over Washington & Lee. She reached 5,000 career assists in the final match of the season and is now the second Captain ever to reach 5,000 assists joining Brittany Collins as the only CNU players to ever reach the mark.
Additionally, Carroll has now achieved All-American honors in four straight seasons. She is the second volleyball player to ever do so and joins an elite club of CNU athletes who have been four-year All-Americans:
- Alex Price - Men's Golf ('20 HM, '21 2nd Team, '22 and '23 1st Team)
- Abby Hogge - Volleyball (2009 HM, '10 and '11 3rd Team, '12 2nd Team)
- Chelsie Schweers - Women's Basketball ('08 and '09 HM, '10 and '11 1st Team)
- Dylan Rice - Men's Lacrosse ('19, '20, '21 HM and '22 1st Team)
- Max Wayne - Men's Lacrosse ('19, '20, '21 HM and '22 1st Team)
Dozier and Carroll both made the AVCA All-Region First Team earlier this month. Prior to that, Dozier was named the C2C Conference Player of the Year and joined Carroll on the All-C2C First Team.
