CLEVELAND, Ohio — Kenyon College sophomore outside hitter Mariyah Rumpca-Veronese capped off a breakout 2025 campaign with a well-deserved selection to the All-NCAC Third Team, as announced by the conference office on November 17.

Rumpca-Veronese emerged as one of the Owls' most dynamic and reliable two-way players this fall, elevating nearly every statistical category from her impressive first-year season. She led Kenyon in every major offensive category except assists, finishing the year with 258.5 points, 3.27 points per set, 216 kills, 2.73 kills per set, and a team-high 32 service aces. She also added 18 assists to her statline.

Defensively, Rumpca-Veronese remained just as impactful. She collected 179 digs, fourth-most on the team, and tallied 14 total blocks, tying her for fourth in that category as well. Her consistency in receiving stood out, posting a .920 reception percentage on a team-high 500 attempts, underscoring her ability to anchor the Owls' back row.

Her production stacked up strongly across the NCAC, where she ranked seventh in kills per set and tenth in total kills. She also finished sixth in service aces per set and 14th in total service aces, while placing 28th in hitting percentage and 25th in digs per set.
