Korrin Burns (Clarion, Pa/Clarion Area) was named to 2025 AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) All-Region honorable mention. 

Burns is only the second player in Saint Francis University’s women’s volleyball history to achieve this award in program history. Madi Tyus received this in 2021 after being named NEC Player of the Year. 

Burns earned this achievement after being named NEC Player of the Year and All-NEC first team after finishing her season with 588 kills, 254 digs, 40 blocks, and 28 service aces. The senior outside hitter played all 27 matches and 103 sets. Burns leads the NEC in kills per set (5.26) and points per set (5.72). She is currently third in total kills, fourth in kills per set, total points, and fifth in points per set in the nation. This is the third year in a row that she earned All-NEC first team and dating back to 2010, she is the first women’s volleyball player to earn this distinction three years in a row.  

Throughout the season, Burns has registered 10 Prime Performers and eight NEC/Molten Player of the Week awards. She recorded 15 games with 20+ kills including a 30-kill home match against Siena that broke the home program record. Burns also has 12 games where she dug up a double-double in kills and digs.  

Burns surpassed the 1,000-kill milestone earlier this season and continued to add program records to her resume. She is sitting in first place in Red Flash history with the most kills in a single season with 542. She passes Roosevelt, who previously held the record in 2006 with 486 kills. Burns also sits in second place with the most total attacks in a season with 1,209. She passed Roosevelt who held the third spot with 1,134 (2004) and Miller with 1,159 (2009). Burns sits only 85 attacks away from taking another first-place program record. Overall, in her career, she is only 20 kills away from being the all-time leader in kills in program history. Kristin Buter (2005-08) currently holds the most kills in a career with 1,427.
