HILLSBORO, Ore. -- The 2025 All-Northwest Conference volleyball rosters and major awards have been announced by the conference office, with
Gracie Bearden picking up the lone All-NWC award for the Bruin volleyball team.
It's the second straight all-conference honor for the junior, who was named to the newly-restructured Third Team All-NWC (taking the place of the former Honorable Mention spot). Bearden had 180 kills on the season to go alongside a career-high 48 service aces. Defensively, she totaled 264 digs, with 18 blocks.
Bearden recorded a career-high 23 digs in Fox's game against Colorado College at the beginning of the season, and was a presence on both sides of the ball; six times on the season, she finished with a double-double, including three of the past four games.
The junior, now a two-time all-conference honoree, will be back in action with the Bruins as the look to the 2026 volleyball season.
