LEXINGTON, Ky. โ Middle blocker Anna Dodson on the UCLA women's volleyball team was named an AVCA NCAA Division I Honorable Mention All-American, it was announced Wednesday morning.

Dodson capitalized on her return to UCLA last offseason with the first All-American recognition of her career after leading the Bruins with 1.24 block per set and a .374 hitting percentage in 2023. She is UCLA's first All-American honoree since Mac May and Zoe Fleck who starred during the Fall 2021 season.

Offensively, Dodson recorded 11 double-digit kill performances, including a career-high 17 kills for a .577 clip in UCLA's upset over then-No. 9 Washington State on the road on Nov. 10. That performance, along with her 13 kills for .545 at Washington on Nov. 12, earned Dodson Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career.
