Four Spartans Achieve All-America Status

TAMPA, Fla. - The AVCA has announced its 44th annual All-America teams for NCAA Division II women's volleyball.

The 2025 All-Americans include 42 players—14 on the first, second, and third teams—from 29 schools, and 117 honorable mention selections. Two programs have three players on those teams: Point Loma (one on the first-, second-, and third-team) and Missouri-St. Louis (two first-team picks and a third-team selection).

The University of Tampa had four student-athletes achieve recognition. Connor Rahn was named First Team, Tess Schrenger was awarded Second Team, while Jenna Davis and Nathaly Perez were Honorable Mention.

Rahn, an outside hitter from Orange Park, Florida, leads the Spartans with 395 kills, averaging 3.69 kills per set. Her 3.69 kills per set currently ranks fourth best in the Sunshine State Conference. The sophomore has also tallied 245 digs, 14 solo blocks, and has averaged 4.1 points per set. In addition to being named First Team All-America, Rahn was most recently named to the NCAA South Region All-Tournament team and AVCA All-South Region First Team. This is the first time she has gained All-America status in her Spartan career. 

Schrenger earns All-America recognition for the first time in her four-year career. The senior earns Second Team honors after most recently being awarded AVCA First Team All-Region. The outside hitter reached 1,000 career kills and digs this season and ranks second on the team with 308 kills. In addition, she has totaled 345 digs and 36 blocks.

Davis, an Honorable Mention, ranks atop the SSC in solo blocks with 28. The middle blocker has registered 108 blocks this season and is hitting .373. The senior from St. Petersburg, Fla., was an AVCA and D2CCA First Team All-South Region selection this season. 

Perez has achieved numerous accolades throughout her career at Tampa. The Honduran native has garnered AVCA All-America honors twice in her career, having been named to the First Team in 2023 and 2024. Perez is an Honorable Mention selection this season. The outside hitter also entered the 1,000 career club this season in kills.
