LEXINGTON, Ky. - Two members of the Quincy University women's volleyball team were recognized for their standout seasons as Susanna Beretti and Elena Kasavica were named to the AVCA Midwest All-Region Team, marking two of the eight selections from the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Each of the eight NCAA Division II regions names 14 All-Region team members along with six honorable mention selections, while also recognizing a Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, and Coach of the Year for each region.

Susanna Beretti continued her dominant 2025 campaign by earning First Team All-Midwest Region honors from the AVCA, adding yet another accolade to an already impressive season. The senior outside hitter captures the distinction for the second consecutive year after also being selected to the first team in 2024. Beretti once again proved herself as one of the premier players in the Midwest Region, serving as the offensive engine for the Hawks and consistently delivering in high-pressure situations throughout the season.

Sophomore setter Elena Kasavica was named an honorable mention selection, earning regional recognition following another outstanding year directing the Quincy offense. Kasavica recorded her second straight season with over 1,000 assists, continuing to establish herself as one of the most reliable and dynamic setters in the conference. Her steady leadership and ability to elevate her hitters played a major role in the Hawks' success throughout the year.

The Hawks' season is not finished yet, as Quincy turns its attention to the NCAA Tournament with a Midwest Regional Quarterfinal matchup against Ferris State scheduled for Thursday morning at 11:00 AM. The match will be played in St. Louis, Missouri, inside the Mark Twain Building on the campus of Missouri–St. Louis, with QU looking to carry its momentum into postseason play.
