GREENWOOD, Ind. – After a successful season on the court in 2024, three Indiana volleyball players were honored for their academic achievements by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) on Tuesday (Dec. 17) afternoon. The organization announced the full list of scholar athletes who will advance for Academic All-America consideration.
All three players were named to the CSC Academic All-District Team – an award that honors on-court play and off-the-court scholastic achievement. To qualify for the award, each player had to maintain a cumulative 3.50+ grade point average (GPA) and appear in at least 90 percent of the team's sets.
Graduate student Delaynie Maple (San Diego, Calif./Sports Management – Master's), junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles (Madrid, Spain/Tourism, Hospitality and Management) and sophomore middle blocker Ava Vickers (Fishers, Ind./Interior Design) were IU's representatives on the team. It is Alonso-Corcelles' second selection and the first appearance for Maple and Vickers.
Maple played her lone season of indoor volleyball for the Hoosiers in 2024 after playing four seasons on the beach at USC. She served as a team captain for IU and played in all 30 matches with 18 starts. Maple recorded 170 digs (1.57 p/s) and racked up 18 service aces. In the classroom, she's maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA in her graduate studies and will finish her degree in the spring.
Alonso-Corcelles had one of the biggest breakout seasons of any player on IU's roster in 2024. She developed into one of the premier six-rotation players in the conference and finished top-10 in the Big Ten in kills (409) and kills per set (3.82). She also tallied 207 digs, 45 blocks and 27 aces in an impressive all-around campaign. She has thrived academically in her time at IU. She holds a 3.51 GPA in her Tourism, Hospitality and Management degree.
Vickers powered through a lingering injury to start all 20 Big Ten matches for the Hoosiers. She had career highs in kills (98) and blocks (67) and led the team in hitting percentage (.314). Through two years of her collegiate career, she's already record over 130 kills and has 92 total blocks to her name. Vickers is also a prolific student and has maintained a 3.70 GPA while studying Interior Design.
The national voting for Academic All-America will begin on Dec. 17. and last through Dec. 31. The Academic All-America teams (First-Third) will be released on Tuesday, Jan. 14. IU's lone Academic All-America selection was Joy Jordan in both 1988 and 1990.
