NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—CSUN seniors Dorottya Telek and Anna Pal closed their respective collegiate careers with All-America Honorable Mention accolades on Friday, as announced the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches. 

Both natives of Budapest, Hungary, Telek and Pal join Marisa Young (2012-15) as the only four-time All-Americans in CSUN Water Polo history. 

“When I met Dodi (Telek) and Nusi (Pal) six years ago I never would have thought in my wildest dreams they’d have such prolific careers at CSUN,” said head coach Matt Warshaw. “They have exceeded every expectation, both in and out of the pool and are true Matadors. Leaving here with multiple degrees, four-time All-American selections, re-writing the record books, countless memories and lifelong friendships are more than all three of us could have hoped for.”

Telek’s fourth All-American award caps an exceptional and historic Matador career. She would lead the Big West for a fourth consecutive season in goals while shattering her own single-season record with a remarkable 104 goals on an efficient 58.1 percent shooting. Named to the All-Big West Second Team, Telek would also lead CSUN with 18 field blocks and 88 exclusions drawn while ranking second on the team in assists (45) and steals (47). In addition, the senior center scored once in at least 26 of 29 matches and recorded multiple-goal efforts 23 times. 

Telek leaves CSUN as the all-time record holder in career goals with 376 (147 more than second place). She also holds the Matador record for career field goal percentage (.537) and exclusions drawn (367) and ranks fifth in field blocks (61). On the single-season goals list, Telek is ranked first (104, 2025), second (101, 2023), third (84, 2024) and fifth (77, 2022) in CSUN history. She is also the record holder for the most goals in a single game with nine, which she reached on three separate occasions in her career. 

Pal would have another outstanding season in the pool, recording a career-high and a Big West-best 67 assists. An All-Big West Honorable Mention, the senior led the Matadors with a personal-best 51 steals while she was second on the team in goals scored at 59 and points at 126. Pal scored once in 23 of 29 total matches and finished with 20 multiple-scoring games. 

Pal also made Matador history this season by breaking the program’s all-time assist record and finishing with 209 total helpers. On the scoring side, Pal moved up to sixth place on CSUN’s all-time career goals list with 200 tallies while she climbed into ninth place on the field blocks list (34). Pal will also forever be known as the founding member of the 200-goal and 200-assist club in school history, reaching the milestone in the Matadors’ final match of the season.

Hamilton College’s Keira Rogan ’28 (Saratoga Springs, N.Y./Schuylerville Central School) earned 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field All-America honors on Tuesday, May 27 when the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released the complete list.

Athletes of USTFCCCA-member institutions who finished in the top eight of their respective individual events or as part of a relay at the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships were first team all-Americans. Those who finished ninth through 16th individually or ninth through 12th as part of a relay made the second team.

Rogan collected a first team award after she took third place out of 12 athletes in the final of the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase at SPIRE Academy in Geneva, Ohio, on May 23. She eclipsed her own team record by more than three seconds with a time of 10:24.46.

This was Rogan’s third all-America honor in her first year with the Continentals. She also made the first team for finishing fifth in the 3,000-meter run at the NCAA indoor championships, and she was a cross country all-American after ending up in 15th place out of 290 runners at the 2024 NCAA championships.

Rogan is the first Hamilton all-American in women’s outdoor track & field since Maggie Hanson ’02 finished in fifth place in the 10,000-meter run at the 2002 NCAA championships.

 

RIO DI JANEIRO – Texas A&M volleyball’s Logan Lednicky was named to the U.S. Women’s National Team for the Volleyball Nations League, the organization announced Friday.
 
Lednicky joins a star-studded group of 14 athletes to represent the United States in Brazil for the first round of pool play for the Volleyball Nations League. The team traveling to Rio will play four matches versus Italy, Brazil, Czech Republic and South Korea.
 
“The past few weeks training in the USA gym has been such an amazing learning experience for me,” Lednicky said. “I am so blessed to be chosen for week one of VNL and can’t wait to represent the U.S. on an international stage for the first time.”
 
This will be Lednicky’s first time representing the Red, White and Blue at an international competition, and she is the first Aggie since Stacy Sykora in 2011 to compete for the U.S. Senior National Team.
 
“I couldn’t be prouder of Logan for being named to the U.S. Women’s National Team’s VNL roster,” head coach Jamie Morrison said. “Having spent time on the international stage, I know how special and formative that experience can be. Logan has earned this opportunity through relentless hard work, humility and an unwavering competitive spirit. Now the rest of the world gets to see what we’ve known at Texas A&M—she’s ready for this moment.”
 

Lednicky is coming off an outstanding junior campaign, as she was named an AVCA Second Team All-American and guided the team to its first NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 berth since 2019. She capped off the year with the second-highest kills per set total (4.47) and third-highest kill total (492) in a single season in A&M history during the rally-scoring era. The Sugar Land, Texas, native recorded 20+ kills in eight matches last season, including three straight in the Maroon & White’s three NCAA Tournament fixtures, a feat only two athletes in the tournament accomplished.
 
Volleyball Nations League is the world’s premier annual international indoor volleyball tournament. The top 16 teams in the world play four matches a week for three weeks of preliminary competition. The top eight teams at the end of the preliminaries will go to the final round.
