ST. JOSEPH, Minn. — Brooke Andries (Marshall, Minn.), Chaeli Haupert (West Lake, Texas), Mackenzie Knofczynski (Willmar, Minn.) and McKenna Moehrle (Eden Valley, Minn.) of the College of Saint Benedict volleyball team were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Women's Volleyball Team.

Selected by College Sports Communicators, the Academic All-District® team recognizes student-athletes for excellence both on the court and in the classroom. Honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot, with first-, second- and third-team selections to be announced Jan. 13. Academic All-America® teams are selected separately for NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA institutions.

 

Knofczynski earned her third consecutive CSC Academic All-District® honor, while Andries was recognized for a second straight year and Haupert was named for the first time after being eligible a year ago. Moehrle received the distinction for the first time. The four selections continue a strong academic tradition for the Bennies, who have now produced at least three Academic All-District® honorees in four straight seasons and 21 Division III honorees overall.

 

All four student-athletes played key roles in CSB's second consecutive NCAA Division III Tournament appearance and back-to-back MIAC Tournament championships.

Andries, a junior finance major, was named co-recipient of the MIAC Elite 22 Award and added another accolade to a résumé that already includes Academic All-MIAC and CSC Academic All-District® honors. During the 2025 MIAC Playoffs, she totaled 24 kills while hitting .295 across three matches, along with nine digs, seven blocks and 28 points. Her postseason performance earned her a second straight selection to the MIAC All-Playoff Team. This season, Andries averaged 1.79 kills per set and owns 523 career kills with 113 blocks.

Haupert, a senior libero and nursing major, earned CSC Academic All-District® recognition following a standout season. A two-time Academic All-MIAC honoree, she recorded a career-high 32 digs in the MIAC championship win over St. Olaf while posting a .971 reception percentage and two service aces. Haupert finished the season with a team-high 455 digs (4.33 per set), ranking fourth in the MIAC, and closed her career eighth on CSB's all-time list with 1,332 digs. A two-time MIAC All-Playoff Team selection, she also finished her career with 136 service aces, including a career-high 39 this season.

 

Knofczynski, a senior nursing major, collected her third straight CSC Academic All-District® honor after another dominant season at the net. A two-time All-MIAC selection (2023, 2025), honorable mention All-MIAC (2024) and two-time Academic All-MIAC honoree, she led the MIAC with 0.98 blocks per set and totaled 103 blocks, including 22 solo stops. Offensively, Knofczynski averaged 1.84 kills per set while hitting .233. Over her career, she appeared in 109 matches and 410 sets, compiling 841 kills, 351 blocks and 1,086.5 points.
 

Moehrle, an exercise and health sciences major, earned her first CSC Academic All-District® honor following a strong postseason run that also landed her on the MIAC All-Playoff Team. In the MIAC playoffs, she totaled 17 kills and a team-high 15 blocks, hitting .417 in the tournament opener against Augsburg and recording a career-high seven blocks against Gustavus. This season, Moehrle averaged 1.08 kills per set with 111 total kills and 70 blocks, bringing her career totals to 405 kills, 142 blocks and 490.5 points. She was All-MIAC in 2024.
