PEORIA, Ill. -- For the first time since 2005 and fifth time overall Bradley Volleyball has a pair of Academic All-District V selections with senior outside hitter Hannah Thompson (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) earning first-team distinction for the third consecutive year and senior setter Kora Kauling (Naperville, Ill./Neuqua Valley/Wichita State) taking home second-team honors according to an announcement by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Thursday.

Thompson, who was the first CoSIDA Academic All-American in program history in 2020-21, is the third individual on record in Bradley history to earn CoSIDA Academic All-District three times; joining Bradley Soccer's Clark Emerson (2015-18) and Kelly Amundrud (2010-12) of Bradley Women's Golf.
