Volleyball Trio Selected for College Sports Communicators Academic All-District® Teams

Three members of the NCAA Division III national runner-up Hope College volleyball team have been selected to the 2023 Academic All-District® Volleyball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators.

Senior Olivia Fiebing joins juniors Alison DeWeerd and Addie VanderWeide in advancing to the Academic All-America® ballot to be voted on by CSC members. 

First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced on Tuesday, Jan. 9.

The CSC Academic All-District® Teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. 

The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes volleyball honorees in four divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Fiebing (Traverse City, Michigan / Traverse City Central HS) is majoring in political science and started at libero for the Flying Dutch.

DeWeerd (Kentwood, Michigan / South Christian) is pursuing a social work major. The middle blocker received American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-America, AVCA All-Region and All-MIAA honors this season.

VanderWeide (Grand Rapids, Michigan / Grand Rapids Christian) is majoring in business. The outside hitter earned AVCA Co-National Player of the Year and AVCA Region 7 Player of the year and MIAA MVP distinction as well as AVCA First Team All-America, AVCA All-Region and All-MIAA First Team honors.

The trio helped Hope advance to the national championship match for the second time in program history and finish with a 32-3 overall record. 

The Flying Dutch also were NCAA regional, MIAA Tournament and MIAA regular-season champions in the same season for the first time in program history.
 
The Division III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2022-23 Division III Academic All-America® programs.
