McMahon Earns Preseason All-GNAC Honor

| By:
PORTLAND, Ore. - The GNAC released the 2023 Volleyball Preseason All-Conference Team on Friday, with Northwest Nazarene's Caroline McMahon earning recognition on the squad.

McMahon was one of 14 players named to the preseason team as well as one of two liberos to receive the honor.

A season ago, McMahon played in all 26 matches and all 95 sets, finishing second in the GNAC and led the Nighthawks with 4.64 digs per set and fifth in the GNAC with .44 service aces per set. She set a new program record for most career aces in NNU's rally-scoring history at 111, and had 29 digs in just four sets against Central Washington in the final game of the season.

She was named CSC Academic All-District and to the GNAC All-Academic Team, as well as earning a GNAC Player of the Week honor from Sept. 12-18.

McMahon and the Nighthawks will begin their season in California with four games from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2.
