PacWest VB Season for the Ages Results in Record Book Entries

The 2025 PacWest volleyball season featured co-conference champs, two PacWest teams in the regional final and a Point Loma NCAA Championship run. It also led to multiple new entries in the PacWest volleyball record book.

The 2025 Pacific West Conference volleyball season featured co-conference champs, those same two teams battling for the regional title, with one of them making a run to the NCAA semifinals.

Point Loma and Fresno Pacific provided the best 1-2 punch that the conference has ever seen. They tied for the conference title and squared off in the first PacWest tourney in over 25 years with the Sunbirds winning. They met again for the NCAA regional trophy with the Sea Lions taking the crown, sending Point Loma to the NCAA Championships where they reached the semifinals.

All of that led to numerous entries in the all-time PacWest record book. Abigail Nua led the rewrite as the first back-to-back Player of the Year since 2013, along with landing fourth on the career kill list with 1,618. The senior outside hitter was a four-time First Team All-PacWest selection and was the AVCA National Player of the Year this fall.

Nua's setter Sophia Baugh dished out 67 assists against Fresno Pacific in the regular season final, tying the conference all-time best for most assists in a match. In that same encounter, the Sunbirds has 20 blocks, tied for fifth all-time in a match. Baugh had 1,460 assists on the season, second best all-time.

Hawaii Hilo's Isabella Freeman had 127 block assists in 2025, second on the single season list, and she wrote her in her name in two other blocking categories. Teammate Emerson Reinke ended a sterling four-year career with 3,439 assists, seventh all-time.

Vanguard's Kayla Robinson hit at a sizzling rate of .428, the second best hitting percentage in a season. Point Loma's Macy Reynolds had 659 digs in 2025, fifth on the single-season list. 

Point Loma's NCAA West Region title was the first for the conference since 2013 when BYU-Hawaii did the same. Reaching the NCAA semifinals was also a first since BYU-H did it in 2013.
