Not only does this mark the second consecutive year that Dedrick, Boyes and Molle being named to the team, but it also marks the third straight year that Dedrick has been named to the team (2019-20, 2021-22, 2022-23) with no awards being given in 2020-21 due to COVID-19.

After a stellar 2021-22 season, Boyes carried her strong play into the 2022-23 season and following 19 regular season games she is third in kills per set with 3.17 and fourth in number of kills this season with 209 in the league. In addition, Boyes has 0.53 aces per set, enough for fourth in the ACAC. Boyes also leads the Vikings in service aces with 35 on the season. She also added 16 kills, 18 digs and five aces in last weekend's play-in win.

Molle has carried on with her ways through 15 matches played with 0.59 blocks per set this season, enough for fifth in the ACAC. Following the completion of the 2022-23 regular season, Molle has 26 total blocks on the season to lead the team. Add more to her total, last weekend Molle had six kills, six digs and four blocks during the play-in game.

As the team's starting setter, Dedrick has 420 assists through 17 matches this season to lead the team, while also adding 81 digs and 18 aces during the regular season. To add to her massive totals, following a five-set win last weekend during the team play-in game win, Dedrick add another 42 assists, one kill, one ace and 21 digs.
