COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - - Ball State junior setter Megan Wielonski was one of 32 student-athletes named to the 2023 Women's Collegiate National Team as part of USA Volleyball's National Team Development Program.
Wielonski, the reigning Mid-American Conference Setter of the Year and a two-time First Team All-MAC selection, was one of six setters selected by the program and is currently an alternate for the 20-woman roster.
The Collegiate Team will train June 18-24 in Anaheim, Calif., alongside the U.S. Women's National Team as it prepares for the final preliminary round of the Volleyball Nations League.
In her first two seasons at Ball State, Wielonski has helped guide the Cardinals to back-to-back NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship appearances, including an at-large berth this past season. She has been a part of two MAC Regular Season championship squads and the 2021 MAC Volleyball Tournament championship program.
Wielonski finished the 2022 campaign ranked fourth nationally with 1,359 assists, while her 10.79 assists-per-set average was 19th among all NCAA Division I setters. She helped Ball State rank 43rd nationally with a .250 attack percentage, while also serving up 46 service aces to rank 55th in the nation.
The four-time 2022 MAC West Division Setter of the Week's impact was not just felt on offense, as she ranked second on the squad with 391 total digs for a 3.10 digs-per-set average. Wielonski collected 21 assist/dig double-doubles on the year, including registering 28 assists and 10 digs in BSU's NCAA First Round matchup at No. 16 Marquette.
