Tyler & Hybertson Named NAIA Women’s Volleyball Third-Team All-Americans

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Elizabeth Tyler and Kayleigh Hybertson round out the season of athletic honors with Third Team All-American distinctions by the NAIA, marking the first All-American awards for both athletes.

Tyler was the highest-rated libero on the All-American list, adding to her accomplishments from the 2025 season, which included a GPAC Co-Defender of the Year nod, First Team All-GPAC honors, and four GPAC Player of the Week awards. Tyler also sits just 35 digs away (1,750) from breaking the school record, which she is likely to hit towards the beginning of her senior season.

Hybertson earns her spot off the back of a second-consecutive Setter of the Year award from the GPAC, along with First Team All-Conference honors and four GPAC Player of the Week awards to match Tyler’s total. Both athletes were also named AVCA First Team All-Region players in the mid-north.

Both athletes were two of 42 to be named on the All-American list for volleyball for the NAIA. See the full release here.
