After leading Bellevue to the NAIA championship match, Trish Siedlik was named the NAIA volleyball coach of the year on Tuesday.
Siedlik led Bellevue to a 32-5 record and advanced past the NAIA tournament quarterfinals for the first time. The Bruins lost in five sets to defending champion Indiana Wesleyan.
Bellevue also had two first-team All-Americans in outside hitters Eve Fountain and Kealy Kiviniemi.

Concordia outside hitter Ashley Keck also was a first-team selection as she had 379 kills and 409 digs. She's the second Bulldog to be named a first-team All-American, joining setter Bree Burtwistle from last season.
Concordia's Gabi Nordaker was a second-team selection as she hit .371 and had 273 kills and 139 blocks. The Millard West graduate was an All-American for the third time.
Midland senior Abbey Ringler was named a third-team All-American as she had 229 kills and 125 blocks.
