(Wednesday, April 15; Sioux Center, Iowa) The College Sports Communicators (CSC) have announced the 2025-26 Academic All-America women’s basketball teams for the recently completed season and Dordt’s Macy Sievers (Senior; Storm Lake, Iowa) and Gracie Schoonhoven (Junior; Hospers, Iowa) have been selected for honors.
Sievers has been named the Academic All-America Team Member of the Year and is the first Dordt athlete to be selected for this award. Sievers averaged 16.7 points per game with 8.1 rebounds, 9.4 assists, and 3.2 steals. She converted 44 percent of her field goals and is a First Team All-American for the third straight year. Sievers is the all-time assist leader in the NAIA with 1,078 and set a Dordt single season record with 346 assists this season. She also scored a career-high 618 points this season and grabbed a career-high 299 rebounds. She totaled 1,933 career points (second all-time at Dordt), 993 career rebounds (third all-time at Dordt), 392 career steals (first all-time at Dordt), 687 career field goals (second all-time at Dordt), and 186 made three-point field goals (third all-time at Dordt). She played in all 145 games for the Defenders in her four-year career, started 110, and Dordt compiled a 134-11 record during that span. She’s graduating with a degree in education and has a 3.88 cumulative grade point average. Sievers is a repeat selection to the first team.
Schoonhoven was named to the first team along with Seivers and led the team with a 22.4 points-per-game average with 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 2.2 steals. She converted 61 percent of her field goals and scored a Dordt-record 827 points this season, breaking the previous mark of 680. Schoonhoven has converted 59.7 percent of her field goal attempts (second all-time at Dordt) in her career and has 593 made field goals (sixth all-time at Dordt). She has scored 1,497 points (seventh all-time) with 444 rebounds and 200 assists. She also has 184 career steals and 63 blocked shots. She was a First Team All-GPAC selection this season after earning Second Team honors in 2025-26. This is the first time Schoonhoven has been eligible for selection as her games played last season fell below the threshold due to recovery from an injury. She’s studying nursing and has a 3.88 grade point average.
CSC Academic All-Americans are voted on by CSC membership after nominations. Nominees must be at least a sophomore in academic standing, maintain a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average and meet minimum games played standards. Dordt has had eight CSC Academic All-Americans in women’s basketball program history.
