LEXINGTON, Ky. – Two names will be added to the wall next year in Wilkinson Hall. Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum and freshman setter Teodora Krickovic were named Honorable Mention All-Americans by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), as announced by the selection committee on Wednesday (Dec. 17) morning.
After a trip to the NCAA regional semifinals for the first time since 2010, the Indiana volleyball team had four players selected to the AVCA Midwest All-Region team. Those four players advanced to the national ballot where a committee of coaches selected Tatum and Krickovic as Honorable Mention All-Americans ahead of this week's national semifinals.
It's the first time in program history that IU has had multiple players selected as All-Americans in the same season. Prior to 2025, just four different IU players had ever earned at least one honor. With Tatum and Krickovic joining former setter Camryn Haworth in the prestigious club, head coach Steve Aird is the first coach in program history to coach three different All-Americans in Bloomington.
Tatum set out to leave a legacy on the program during her senior season. She did that and more – captaining the Hoosiers to single-season school records for wins (25) and Big Ten wins (14) during the NCAA era. The Solana Beach, California native provided career highs in kills (359), points (405.5) and hitting percentage (.315).
During her three seasons in Bloomington, Tatum developed into one of the premier right-side attackers in the country. She tallied 936 kills in an IU uniform and 1,151 overall during her collegiate career. The Hoosiers went 61-35 with Tatum on the team. She finishes her career with the ninth highest hitting percentage (.273) in school history.
After 115 collegiate matches, Tatum is off to begin her professional career. She was drafted in the fourth round of the Major League Volleyball (MLV) draft in November by the Columbus Fury. She will head to training camp this week before the season begins in January. Tatum is set to graduate next spring with her undergraduate degree.
There were few players that made more of an immediate impact than IU's freshman setter, Krickovic. The 6-foot-2 rookie started every match for the Hoosiers. She recorded 1,212 assists, 201 digs, 54 kills, 50 blocks and a team-best 38 aces. With her running the offense, IU broke a single-season program record (.281) for team hitting percentage. All of IU's primary attackers experienced career highs in hitting efficiency.
In November, Krickovic became the first freshman in program history to earn First Team All-Big Ten honors. She was a Midwest All-Region selection and is now the first IU freshman to ever earn AVCA All-American honors. In totality, Krickovic was one of seven true freshmen to earn an All-American nod. She was one of three freshman setters to be named to a team.
Krickovic is the third setter in program history to earn All-American honors and the second in the last three seasons. In total, IU has now had six players in program history named to an AVCA All-American team. Former middle blocker Ashley Benson remains the only student-athlete in Bloomington to make one of the First, Second or Third teams.
