Gannon libero Alexis Fowler was named PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year, and joined teammates Sydney Wake and Abbey Williams as an All-PSAC West selection. Wake and Williams earned first-team honors; Fowler made the second team. The awards cap a strong season for Gannon, which advanced to the PSAC semifinals after sweeping Shippensburg.

By the Numbers
  • Gannon is 22-5 overall and 11-3 in conference play.
  • Fowler leads the team with 427 digs, averaging 4.36 per set.
  • Williams leads Gannon with 351 kills; Wake has 259.
  • Gannon has reached the PSAC semifinals for the sixth consecutive season.
Yes, But

Gannon’s three honorees reflect contributions on both sides of the net, but the program’s top defensive award went to Fowler while she was named to the All-PSAC West second team. Seton Hill’s Catie Flohr took the division’s Athlete of the Year award.

State of Play
  • Gannon finished second in the PSAC West and entered the tournament ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region NPI.
  • The Golden Knights swept Shippensburg in Wednesday’s quarterfinals and will meet Seton Hill in the semifinals.
What’s Next

Gannon faces Seton Hill Saturday, Nov. 14, at 1 p.m. at IUP’s Memorial Field House, with a spot in the PSAC championship game at stake.

Bottom Line

Gannon’s postseason honors recognize a balanced roster—and the Golden Knights now have a chance to turn that recognition into a conference title run.
