Three players from Ferris State University's women's volleyball team have been recognized with All-Region honors for the 2023 season. This recognition comes as the Bulldogs prepare for their 12th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The accolades were awarded by two organizations: the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA). The AVCA teams are chosen by head coaches, while D2CCA selections are made by sports information directors within the region.

Olivia Henneman-Dallape, a junior outside hitter from Oregon, Ohio, received First Team recognition from both the AVCA and D2CCA. Her teammate, junior outside hitter Claire Nowicki from Clarkston, was named to the AVCA First Team and received Second Team honors from D2CCA. Junior setter Kaylee Maat of Hudsonville earned an Honorable Mention from AVCA.

These athletes have contributed to Ferris State's successful season, leading to a 25-7 overall record and a GLIAC Tournament Championship. As the number two seed in the Midwest Regional, Ferris State will compete against seventh-seeded Hillsdale on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. ET in St. Louis, Missouri.
