BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The Western Washington University volleyball team had another standout season on the court and in the classroom in 2025, punctuated by three student-athletes earning Academic All-District honors as recognized by Collegiate Sports Communicators.
 
Seniors Adele Holland and Abby May, along with junior Finnley Claeys, were part of a group of 26 players from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to earn the honor.
