NJCAA Division 1 Volleyball All-America Teams | NJCAA Division 2 Volleyball All-America Teams

CHARLOTTE, NC – For just the second time in history, the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference has double-digit All-Americans in a single year after 11 players from six different institutions had their names listed on the 2025 NJCAA Division 1 and Division 2 Volleyball All-America teams released on Tuesday, December 9th.

A total of four players earned NJCAA Division 1 Volleyball All-America honors, led by First-Team All-America Stasa Stamenkovic (Barton), while seven more players were named NJCAA Division 2 Volleyball All-Americans which included First-Team All-Americans Hanna Darvas (Cowley), Ava Esser (Johnson County), and Sanoma Hunter (KCKCC).

The 11 All-Americans surpasses the 2018 season, the only other year that saw double-digit All-Americans from the KJCCC when the conference had 10 players earn All-America status. Dating back to 1975 (first year that data is available from the NJCAA), 239 players from the KJCCC have now earned All-America status, which includes 32 different players who have been named two-time NJCAA All-Americans. Both Darvas and Caputi are part of the 32 players to have been named a two-time NJCAA-All American, following both Phoebe Reyes (Barton), and Laura Bonomi (Cowley) who both earned their second NJCAA All-America accolades during the 2024 season.
