HAVERFORD, Pa. - Four members of the Haverford College volleyball team earned spots on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Team, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon. Representing the Fords on the 2025 squad were seniors Cameryn DeBlecourt, Izabela Potocnjak and Eliana Brown, along with junior Kira Chaney.
The 2025 Academic All-District® Women's Volleyball Team, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately honors student-athletes in four divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. To be eligible, nominees must hold a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 and have played in at least 90 percent or started 67 percent of their team's matches during the current season. The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with awards fulfillment for the 2025-26 academic year.
DeBlecourt, of Lockport, Illinois, is a repeat honoree after earning the award a season ago. The neuroscience anchored the Haverford offense as the primary setter over three seasons, totaling 1,334 assists while averaging 4.71 assists per set for her career. She complemented her distribution with strong defensive contributions, finishing with 587 digs and 115 service aces. DeBlecourt posted a career-high 30 assists against Scranton in 2025 and added seven service aces versus Misericordia that same season, while maintaining an efficient .262 hitting percentage.
Brown, of San Francisco, earned CSC Academic All-District honors after the 2025 season, continuing her record of excellence both on the court and in the classroom. A senior outside hitter majoring in psychology, Brown was recognized for her combined academic and athletic achievements for a third consecutive campaign. During the 2025 season, she amassed 323.5 points and 266 kills (2.58 per set), added 35 service aces across 103 sets, and anchored the defense with 329 digs (3.19 per set) and 44 total blocks. Her season included a standout 20-kill, 19-dig double-double against Scranton on Sept. 6.
Chaney, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, put together a stellar junior campaign as the English major developed into a key defensive presence for Haverford across three seasons. She has appeared in 256 sets while providing versatility in multiple roles. After an offense-heavy campaign that included 200 kills and a career-high 21 kills against Ursinus in 2023, Chaney transitioned into the libero role. She currently has 813 career digs and is averaging 3.18 digs per set.
Potocnjak, of Gilbert, Arizona, adds the honor to her 2023 selection to the CSC All-District Team. The economics and political science double major was a steady four-year contributor for the Fords, totaling 570 kills across 360 sets while also making a significant impact at the net and from the service line. Potocnjak finished her career with 194 total blocks and 110 service aces, including a single-match high of nine aces against Wheaton (Mass.) in 2024. Her all-around game was highlighted by a seven-block performance versus Ursinus in 2023 and multiple double-digit kill outings.
Haverford concluded the 2025 season with a 19-9 record, marking the program's most wins since the 2021 team finished 24-6. The Fords posted a 7-3 conference record, highlighted by a victory over No. 7 Johns Hopkins on Senior Day and a home sweep of rival Swarthmore. The Fords also hosted the first round of the Centennial Conference Tournament for the first time since 2019 and advanced to the conference semifinals for the first time since 2021.
