ESCANABA, MI – The MCCAA and Region 12 released the 2025 postseason volleyball awards.  Bay College had three student-athletes make the Northern Conference Second Team and one on the Northern Conference Honorable Mention Team.

Jade Jasenovsky (SO, Menominee, MI) was selected on the Second Team All-Conference for the Northern Conference.  Jasenovsky battled injuries that forced her to miss some early matches, and stuck with her throughout the season, but she ended up leading the Norse in digs with 408.  She ended up averaging 5.67 digs per set as the team's libero and leader on the defensive side.  She tallied a 93.1 receiving percentage for the year and 20 service aces. 

Mia Hauser (SO, Wallace, MI) was also named to the Northern Conference Second Team.  She was second on the team this year with 214 kills and led the team with 54 service aces.  She also contributed on the defensive side, ending with 229 digs on the year and a 92.4 receiving percentage. 

The third player selected as Second Team All-Conference for the Norse was Hope Varoni (FR, Bark River, MI).  The freshman setter set a school record with 784 assists this season.  She averaged 8.43 assists per set.  Varoni also had 248 digs on the season and is one of just five Norse players to appear in every match, and one of three to play in all 93 sets for Bay College this season.

Addie Morton (SO, Ishpeming, MI) was named to the 2025 Northern Conference Honorable Mention Team.  Addie was second on the team with 28 total blocks, 14 of those were solo blocks.  She also had 168 kills for the season. 

Bay finished the season with their best ever record at 13-12.  Their 6-6 conference record was also a high mark for the program.  The Norse ended their season in a heart-breaking 3-2 loss against Kellogg Community College in the Great Lakes District A Play-in Match on November 5.
