GREENWOOD, IN – Four members of the Alfred University women's volleyball team earned a spot on the 2025 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team on Tuesday.

Representing the Saxons are Cara Bratthauar (Chambersburg, PA/Chambersburg Area), Whitney Kilton (Pearl City, HI/Pearl City), Madalynn McGowan (Corona, CA/Norco) and Delaney Sims (Bogart, GA/George Walton Academy).

"I'm very proud of these young women and how hard they have worked in the classroom," Head Coach Mike Honeycutt said. "Being a student-athlete is challenging. They have met that challenge with tenacity and grace."

The 2025-26 Academic All-District® Women's Volleyball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

To qualify, a student-athlete needs to have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average and must compete in 90 percent of the institution's matches played or start in at least 66 percent of the institution's matches.
