Texas Volleyball’s Logan Eggleston named 2023 NCAA Woman of the Year

Logan Eggleston, an All-American volleyball player at Texas who majored in business administration and management, is the 2023 NCAA Woman of the Year.

Eggleston was announced as the winner Thursday at the NCAA Convention in Phoenix during a celebration of the Top 30 honorees. Eggleston’s parents accepted the honor on her behalf, as she was unable to attend due to her professional volleyball commitments.

The Woman of the Year award was created in 1991 to recognize graduating female student-athletes who have distinguished themselves in athletics, academics, leadership and community service. Eggleston is the first Texas student-athlete to receive the award in its 33-year history. 

“It was such an honor to be nominated,” Eggleston said. “There are so many amazing student-athletes across the country who are going through their own journeys and their own hardships and finding ways to power through, find success and just grow as people. To be listed alongside some of these amazing student-athletes is incredible, and I’m so honored to have even been considered.” 

Eggleston began her career at Texas in 2018 and made an immediate impact, earning Big 12 Conference Player of the Year honors in her first season. During her five-year career, she was an  American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American five times, including three first-team honors. Eggleston was also a three-time Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and is one of only two players in conference history to earn first-team All-Big 12 honors five times. 

A three-year team captain, Eggleston led her team to the 2022 NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship title and was named the NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player and the 2022 AVCA National Player of the Year. Eggleston also earned the 2023 Honda Sport Award for Volleyball, which is presented to the top collegiate female volleyball player. She was a finalist for the award in 2021 and 2022.  

“The thing I’m most proud of from my time at Texas is definitely winning a national championship,” Eggleston said. “What I’ve dreamed of since I was super young was going somewhere, making a difference at the school and making an impact on the athletic department. I think my team really had the opportunity to do that, and we did.”
