Crossroads League Announces Volleyball Award Winners

 

JACKSON, Mich. – The Crossroads League announced its 2024 Volleyball All-League honors on Tuesday, just days after No. 3 Indiana Wesleyan completed a sweep of the regular season and tournament championships for a second-straight season.

 

Indiana Wesleyan’s Candace Moats and Dan Bergren were once again named the Crossroads League Coach and Assistant Coach of the Year, while IWU’s Eva Joldersma and Abbigail Porter also repeated as the CL Player of the Year and CL Setter of the Year. The Wildcats also saw Marin Sanchez named the CL Freshman of the Year.

 

Marian’s Emma Lyons claimed the other top remaining honor, being selected for the second-straight year as the Crossroads League Libero of the Year.

The All-Crossroads League awards were voted on by the CL’s head volleyball coaches.
