Tarleton State’s Morgan Carter and Alyssa Dinh captured the WAC Libero and Freshman of the Year awards, respectively. Utah Tech’s Camilla Hafoka was chosen as the WAC Coach of the Year. 

Page, a senior outside hitter, led Utah Valley to its first conference regular season title. Page notched a WAC-best 4.25 points per set this season during league play which included a total of 134 kills, 36 total blocks and 17 service aces. Page finished the conference season with a .314 hitting percentage, the third best in WAC. She recorded double-digit points in all but two of 24 Utah Valley matches this season, including a season-high 25 points versus Coastal Carolina (9/13).  

Chism, a junior setter, assisted the Wolverines to the 2025 WAC regular season championship. Chism registered double-digit assists in all but one match for Utah Valley this season and totaled at least 30 assists in eight matches. Chism led the Wolverines to the best team hitting percentage in WAC play, as the team recorded a .257 hitting percentage over the final 12 matches.  

Carter, a redshirt-senior libero, totaled 372 digs throughout the season for an average of 3.96 digs per set. Carter collected double-digit digs in 22 of 24 matches this season including a season-high of 25 digs against Louisiana (8/30) and UT Arlington (10/30).
