The NAIA Women’s Volleyball world just got rocked. Candace Moats is back at it again. The head coach of Indiana Wesleyan just snagged the 2025 NAIA Coach of the Year title. And believe me, she earned every bit of it.
MOATS MAGIC
This season? Pure magic. Moats led her Wildcats to a staggering 33-4 record, ending with their third straight Red Banner. That's not just winning. That's a dynasty. Her leadership turned early season challenges into stepping stones for greatness. It's no wonder she's the talk of the town.
THE ALL-AMERICANS
The NAIA-VCA made it official during the NAIA Championship. And let's be real, these selections were no-brainers. The All-America teams were picked from the cream of the crop, the best of the All-Conference/CAC teams.
WHY THIS MATTERS
We all know volleyball isn't just about spikes and blocks. It's about heart, resilience, and leadership. Moats showed us all three. Under her guidance, Indiana Wesleyan didn't just survive – they thrived. You could feel it coming. And then everything changed.
Her Wildcats weren't just playing volleyball, they were putting on a clinic. Straight up dominant. Moats didn’t just handle business. She set a new standard.
This isn't just a win for Indiana Wesleyan. It's a statement to every coach out there. Step up or step aside. Because Moats and her Wildcats? They're not going anywhere.
And from there… it was over.
