For 3rd straight year, CCC Women's Volleyball sends more than 100 to next level
(Edited July 19 with additions)
The streak is now at three straight years that California Community College women's volleyball programs have moved more than 100 student-athletes to play and continue their educations at the next level.
The 2024-2025 class includes 20 players who earned NCAA Division I scholarships, featuring All-Americans Morgan Castaneda (American River) and Aniyah Hall (San Mateo) each going to San Jose State University, All-State Lucy Ryan (Feather River) now at Cal Baptist, and All-South Region selection Jordyn Romero (Mt. San Antonio) moving to the University of Buffalo (NY).
Overall, 44 colleges have transferred 121 student-athletes to play volleyball, a number of them choosing to compete on both indoor and beach teams.
'24 3C2A state champion Feather River had the most scholarship athletes with seven, followed by San Joaquin Delta, Cerritos, Fresno City, and Mt. San Jacinto with six, then San Diego Mesa, American River, Coalinga, and Santa Monica each with five.
Fifty-one student-athletes are moving to out of state universities.
A remarkable 15 CCC students from 12 different schools are taking their talents to the same place--NAIA Hope International.
Lemoore made some news with its first-ever university transfer in Amaya Ruiz Keovilaysane, now at NAIA Westcliff.
