ROSEMONT, Ill. - Following an outstanding 2023 campaign, which saw the Indiana volleyball team match a program record with 21 regular season wins, four Hoosiers were awarded Big Ten postseason honors, as announced by the conference office on Thursday (November 30th).
Junior setter Camryn Haworth, freshman libero Ramsey Gary, graduate student middle blocker Kaley Rammelsberg and sophomore outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles helped total five Big Ten honors in 2023. Three of the four players are set to return in 2024.
Perhaps the best all-around player in the conference, Haworth capped off an incredible junior season by being named one of seven unanimous First Team All-Big Ten selections. One of three setters to earn First Team All-Big Ten honors, and the only unanimous selection, Haworth led the conference with 1,247 assists and 73 aces while finishing third with 10.22 assists per set.
The Fishers, Ind. native also led the NCAA in aces (73) and moved into eighth in program history with 2,862 career assists. Her 1,247 assists in 2023 were the most a player at IU since 2007. She finished fifth, following the regular season, in the NCAA in assists.
One of three Big Ten setters to average over 10 assists per set, Haworth also finished over 30 aces better than the next best conference setter and tied Northwestern's Alexa Rousseau for the most kills among Big Ten setters (110). She was the only power five player with multiple triple-doubles in 2023 and helped run an offense that hit a collective .237 on the year (No. 4 in program history).
Haworth is the first IU player to be named First Team All-Big Ten in back-to-back years since Ashley Benson in 2009 and 2010. She's just the third player in program history (Benson, Anne Eastman) with multiple First Team All-Big Ten accolades.
Gary, fresh off perhaps the best freshman season in program history, earned a pair of Big Ten honors on Thursday. She was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team and the All-Freshman team after a campaign that saw her break the freshman single-season digs record and IU's all-time single season digs record (530).
The Pendleton, Ind. native is the first player since 2009 (Jordan Haverly) and just the sixth Hoosier in program history to be named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team. She is the first libero in IU history to be named to an All-Big Ten team.
Gary led the Big Ten in digs (530) and finished the season with 4.34 digs per set, 109 assists and 22 service aces. She broke program records for most 10+ dig matches (31) and most 20+ dig matches (10) in a single season and matched IU's single-game freshman digs record (26) in a win over Ohio State.
Rammelsberg, using her COVID-19 waiver to play her fifth and final year of college, was named Second Team All-Big Ten following an outstanding offensive year for the Hoosiers. She finished fifth in the Big Ten, hitting .365 with 281 kills on 608 attempts.
Her .365 offensive clip is second in a single season in program history and her .329 hitting percentage in three seasons with the Hoosiers is No. 2 all-time in program history. Among conference players hitting .350 or better, Rammelsberg had the most kills and attempts (281-59-608).
Alonso-Corcelles was named as IU's Sportsmanship Honoree. The sophomore played in 32 matches and tallied 344 kills as a six-rotation hitter. She finished the season on a streak of 16-straight matches with 10+ kills.
IU's three All-Big Ten honorees are the most since 1995. IU was one of three programs (Nebraska and Purdue) with a unanimous selection to both the First Team All-Big Ten (Haworth) and All-Freshman Team (Gary).
