Hempstead, NY - Senior Izadora Stedile capped an incredible career by being named the CAA Player of the Year, it was announced by the conference office this afternoon. 

A total of four players from the Pride were honored as the postseason awards were announced.

Junior Beatriz Braga garnered All-CAA First Team accolades and senior Clara Bal picked up All-CAA Second Team honors. Stedile was also a member of the All-CAA First Team. 

Stedile is Hofstra's fourth CAA Player of the Year honoree since joining the league in 2001 and the first since Kelsie Wills in 2014. 

Jioshvili-Ravva is Hofstra's seventh CAA Setter of the Year Award recipient and the first since Beatriz Alves in 2022. Jioshvili-Ravva is the first freshman to win the CAA Setter of the Year Award since the inception of the positional award in 2002.
