Findlay, Ohio- The Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) has announced its 2025 Women's Volleyball Midwest All-Region teams, and University of Findlay seniors,
Makenna Belcher,
Lauren Foerster, and
Emma White all earned a spot on the second team, the first players to receive all-region recognition from the organization since 2022.
Makenna Belcher, who was named first team all-conference just last week, has stepped in as a dynamic and consistent force for Findlay, recording 384 kills, an average of 3.92 per set, the fourth-highest mark in the region, while hitting .276 and contributing 2.38 digs per set. Belcher set a career-high with 27 kills against Central Missouri on Sept. 13, while her season-high in digs came with 18 at Cedarville on Oct. 4.
Lauren Foerster has also been a key contributor, averaging 3.11 kills per set with a .334 hitting percentage and adding 39 blocks. The first-team all-conference selection tallied a season-high 22 kills against Rockhurst on Oct. 18 and added a season-best five blocks at Tiffin on Oct. 3. From Oct. 17–26, Foerster put together an impressive six-match stretch, totaling 76 kills—averaging 3.80 per set—while hitting .525, a run that included her standout performance against regional foe Rockhurst.
Emma White, the Great Midwest Player of the Year, claims one of only two setter spots on the list. White orchestrates the offense, averaging 11.82 assists per set, ranking third nationally, and has totaled 1,158 assists this season, placing her fourth in the region. White surpassed 5,000 career assists in the Great Midwest Semifinal, becoming just the third player in program history to reach the milestone. The Tiffin, Ohio native has recorded 15 double-doubles (assists and digs) this season. Also a threat at the service line, White is averaging 0.49 aces per set, the most of any player in the tournament. Defensively, she adds steady production with 2.67 digs per set and 262 on the year, making her a complete presence on the court.
