NEW LONDON, Conn. --

After a stellar senior season, Kaela France(Calhan, CO) has been named 2nd Team All-NEWMAC and Honorable Mention All New England. 

"Kaela France has been a cornerstone in our program" said Head Coach Mark Thomas. "Being named both NEWMAC All-Conference and AVCA All-Region are well-deserved. Kaela is third in the nation in digs per set: a testament to her incredible skill and work ethic. She consistently plays at an elite level, and her contributions go beyond stats. She sets the standard for our team with her energy, leadership, and passion for the game."

France will graduate in the spring as one of the most decorated athletes in Coast Guard volleyball history. She is the all-time digs leader(1874) and owns both of the top single season digs spots with 669(2024) and 574(2023). 

Prior to earning All New England and All NEWMAC status this year, Kaela previously took home hardware in her underclass years. She was named to the NEWVA All-Region Rookie Team in her freshman season. Then in her junior year she was the NEWMAC defensive player of the year and 1st team NEWMAC Libero.

Congratulations to Kaela on an incredible career!
