ANAHEIM, Calif. - Indiana outside hitter Morgan Geddes and setter Camryn Haworth were among the 20 players named to the 2023 U.S. Women's Collegiate National Team, as announced by USA Volleyball on Thursday (June 15) afternoon.
The Hoosier duo participated at the Women's National Team Open Program in late February, parlaying their performances in Colorado Springs to a spot with the collegiate national team and a week of training in Anaheim later this month.
By the end of the weekend at the open program in February, the 6-foot-2 rising senior Geddes was playing on the top court with the nation's best athletes while the 5-foot-10 rising junior Haworth was among the best setters and most versatile athletes at the camp.
"It's a huge honor," Geddes said. "I'm very excited. It's a big opportunity. I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for this spring and all the girls working as hard as they have. The coaches have worked hard to get me to this level. I'm just so thankful."
During the 2022 season, Geddes played in 27 matches with 25 starts. Despite missing a handful of matches and playing out of position due to injuries, she recorded 266 kills and was second on the team with 2.56 kills per set.
She had a run of six of seven matches with double-digit kills including 11 at No. 4 Nebraska, 14 at No. 3 Wisconsin and a career-best 17 in a victory over Rutgers. She provided the game-winning kill in a match at Michigan State and delivered 16 kills in a late-season win over Illinois.
Along with the likes of middle blocker Savannah Kjolhede and outside hitter Grae Gosnell, Geddes was a member of IU's highest-rated recruiting class (No. 15) in program history in 2020. She has appeared in 71 matches through three seasons and owns 489 kills, 125 digs, 93 blocks and 24 service aces.
A breakout 2022 season saw her and fellow outside hitter Mady Saris combine for 693 kills on the season and help lead IU to a 16-16 overall record and an eighth-place finish in the Big Ten Conference.
"I am so incredibly proud of Morgan. She has worked so hard over the last few years and is deserving of this opportunity, IU head coach Steve Aird said. "She comes to work early, stays late and is not afraid to grind. Perhaps most impressively, she gives so much credit to her teammates for helping her grow and that says a lot about her as a human being. I know she will learn a great deal in that environment and she will represent Indiana well."
Haworth, a native of Fishers, Ind., was given the keys to the offense in 2022, starting every match and playing in every set as the program's starting setter. She compiled 1,111 assists, 290 digs, 49 aces and 56 blocks across 32 matches and 123 sets.
In a victory over Northwestern on Nov. 18, 2022, she recorded the team's first triple-double since 2001 with 37 assists, 11 digs and 10 kills. She followed that up in IU's win over No. 5 Ohio State with 45 assists, 16 digs and eight kills.
"It's a blessing. Through playing at IU, I have had the opportunity to represent my home state and compete at the highest level in the best volleyball conference," Haworth said. "Everyone involved with the program supports and pushes each other to be the best we can be in and out of Wilkinson Hall."
Her efforts awarded her the title of AVCA National Player of the Week on November 22nd. She was one of three conference setters named All-First Team Big Ten following the season, IU's first athlete named to the Big Ten First Team since Ashley Benson in 2010.
Heading into the 2023 season, Haworth is No. 11 in program history in assists (1,615) and is tied for eighth all-time in aces during the rally era (91). She will be surrounded by a plethora of arms next year including Geddes, Saris, Kjolhede and graduate student middle blocker Kaley Rammelsberg.
"I am thrilled that Cam is getting the opportunity to train and learn with the best. I am very proud of her," Aird said. "She continues to grow as a setter and a leader, and the sky is the limit for her here at IU and beyond."
"Our goal at IU is to help players become the best version of themselves and having players train with the USA program, the Canadian National Team program, Spain, Turkey, etc. are all examples of that," Aird said. "Morgan and Cam are humbled and thrilled to have this opportunity and will represent the program well. I know they will compete hard and bring back experience that will help the entire program."
Geddes and Haworth will head to Anaheim, Calif. this summer from June 18-24 to train with her fellow national team athletes in an intensive, U.S. national team setting.
