INDIANAPOLIS - Juniors Morgan Block and Grace Fruzen both earned All-GLVC Second Team selections on Wednesday night. Graduate middle blocker Alexis Moses was named the team's James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award recipient. 

In GLVC play, Block totaled the second-most digs in the conference with 268 for an average of 5.36 per set. In total this year, Block has 491 digs (5.40/set), which leads the conference and ranks 12th nationally in digs per set in Division II. Her 491 digs are the seventh-most in a season in program history. 

Fruzen posted the fifth-most assists in GLVC play with 470 (9.40/set) and finished the regular season with 781 total assists (8.88/set). She's also totaled a team-high 36 aces this season, ranking eighth in the GLVC overall. 

The two Peacocks join Nicole Pozorski and Zoe Semelroth as All-GLVC selections for the Peacocks. Semelroth earned second team in 2023 and first team in 2024 while Pozorski earned second team in both 2023 and 2024.

Moses joins Lydia Imbrogno in 2025, Emily Kono in 2024 and Madelyn Rettler in 2023 as a James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award winner for the Peacocks. The graduate led the team in blocks this season with 46.

The GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award honorees are student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing while also demonstrating good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. Moses is now eligible to become one of UIU's two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced at the end of the academic year. 

The Peacocks are set for conference tournament action on Thursday at 11:30 a.m. at Williasville High School Fieldhouse against No. 22 UIndy.
