Lexington, KY - The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced its 44th annual Division III All-American team selections on Wednesday morning as Vassar College Women's Volleyball junior outside hitter Maura McAusland was named a Honorable Mention All-American selection. This marks the first Vassar All-American selection since two-time All-American Devan Gallagher in 2018.

McAusland scores her first career All-American selection to become the seventh Vassar student-athlete to earn the award after being named AVCA All-Region III for the first time last week along with being named an All-Liberty League First Team selection for the first time in her career. The All-Conference honor was the third straight for McAusland after being named to the Second Team in each of her first two seasons with the Brewers.

McAusland closed the 2025 season with a career-best 404 kills, ranking eighth all-time in a single season in Vassar program history. She also finished the season averaging 4.54 kills per set, which is the second highest mark in program history and also ranks third all-time in hitting percentage in a single season at .329. The .329 hitting percentage currently ranks tied for 50th in all of Division III.

The junior set new career-highs in kills (404) and digs (240) while recording 44 aces and 24 total blocks to finish with a career-best 462.5 points and 5.20 points per set. McAusland buried double-digit kills in all but three matches this season while tallying six matches with 20 or more kills, including a career-high 27 winners against Union on October 18. Following her junior year, McAusland currently sits sixth all-time in attack percentage (.249) and third in kills per set (3.47) in Vassar program history for her career.

Vassar finished the 2025 season with a 19-8 overall record, which is the most victories since 2017, and 4-4 in Liberty League play to finish fifth in the conference standings.
