The duo were both selected as Honorable Mention All-Americans, and become the 10th and 11th Yellow Jackets to earn the award, garnering the 14th and 15th total honors for the program, all within the last decade.

Perez Cortes was an AVCA All-East Region Honorable Mention after earning both Northeast 10 Conference First-Team All-Conference and All-Tournament Team status during the season. She led the team with 262 kills in 25 matches and 89 sets, adding in 49 aces, 30 blocks, 116 digs, and 239 receptions.

The junior's breakout season comes on the heels of an NE10 All-Rookie campaign in 2024 after she missed nearly the entire 2023 season with an injury.

Rosa capped an incredible career with the honor after earning AVCA First-Team All-Region status for the first time, and is the first All-American libero in AIC history. The two-time NE10 Second-Team All-Conference honoree led the team with 414 digs and 468 receptions in 2025 while playing in all 26 matches and all 97 sets.

In a career she concluded on a run of 70 consecutive matches and 257 consecutive sets played, Rosa ranks third in AIC history with 1583 digs, and made 2028 successful receptions with a 94.0 receiving percentage across her 110 career matches.
