LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – In the midst of a season to remember, the IUP women's volleyball team added four Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division postseason honors Thursday, highlighted by head coach Avery Moore being named PSAC West Coach of the Year.
The Crimson Hawks earned three All-PSAC West selections, including two first-team honorees and one second-team selection, following a regular season that saw IUP capture the PSAC West title and secure home-court advantage for the conference tournament.
Senior outside hitter Delaney Concannon and junior right-side hitter Jessica Neiman earned first-team recognition, while junior middle blocker Charlotte Potvin received second-team honors.
Under Moore's leadership, IUP put together one of its most successful regular seasons in recent memory, recording 24 victories and finishing 12-2 in conference play. The Crimson Hawks posted an 11-1 record at home and enjoyed separate winning streaks of 10 and nine matches throughout the season.
The success helped IUP secure the No. 1 seed in the PSAC West and the opportunity to host the conference semifinals and championship this weekend at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC).
Delaney Concannon – First Team All-PSAC West
Concannon put together a standout senior campaign, establishing herself as one of the Crimson Hawks' most consistent contributors on both sides of the ball.
The senior outside hitter recorded a team-high 293 kills while adding 328 digs, providing IUP with a reliable offensive presence and a significant defensive contribution throughout the season.
Concannon also reached a historic milestone, becoming just the third player in program history to surpass 1,000 career kills and 1,000 career digs.
In addition to her offensive and defensive production, Concannon ranked second on the team with 33 service aces.
Jessica Neiman – First Team All-PSAC West
Neiman earned her second career first-team All-PSAC West selection after another impressive season as one of IUP's primary offensive threats.
The junior right-side hitter finished second on the team with 283 kills, averaging 3.11 kills per set while recording a .282 hitting percentage.
Neiman continued to build on an impressive collegiate career that began with her selection as the 2024 PSAC West Freshman of the Year. Her consistent offensive production helped give IUP one of the conference's most balanced attacks throughout the regular season.
Charlotte Potvin – Second Team All-PSAC West
Potvin earned the first all-conference recognition of her collegiate career following a strong junior season in the middle for the Crimson Hawks.
The junior middle blocker established herself as one of IUP's most efficient offensive players, finishing second on the team with a .339 hitting percentage.
Potvin also anchored the Crimson Hawks' defensive presence at the net, leading the team with 88 total blocks during the regular season.
Her contributions on both sides of the ball played a significant role in IUP's success throughout conference competition.
Avery Moore – PSAC West Coach of the Year
Moore earned the second conference Coach of the Year honor of her career and her first since taking over the IUP women's volleyball program.
Previously named the 2024 Mountain East Conference Coach of the Year, Moore guided the Crimson Hawks to 24 regular-season victories, a 12-2 conference record and the PSAC West regular-season championship.
Under her direction, IUP established itself as one of the top programs in the Atlantic Region, combining a balanced offensive attack with a consistent defensive presence.
The Crimson Hawks' regular-season success also secured home-court advantage for the PSAC Tournament semifinals and championship, giving IUP the opportunity to compete for a conference title in front of its home crowd.
IUP will continue its postseason run Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in the second PSAC semifinal match of the day at the KCAC. The conference championship match is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m.
