The 2025 N.J. girls volleyball season is a wrap. Below, have a look at the final Olympic Conference roundup and awards as part of the postseason honors package.
Player of the Year: Maggie Carcillo, Paul VI, Sr.
There isn’t enough that can be said about Maggie Carcillo. She is one of the best all-around players this state has recently seen. Her ability to dominate as a passer, hitter, defender, and server has kept Paul VI consistently in the conversation as a top team.
This season, Carcillo posted 400 assists, 110 kills, 113 digs, 75 aces, and 26 blocks. She will exit Paul VI as a three-time First Team All-State player.
The St. John’s commit graduates with 1,307 career assists, 541 kills, 466 digs, 286 aces, and 82 blocks.
Team of the Year: Paul VI (25-1)
Finishing No. 4 in the NJ.com Top 20, Paul VI entered the Non-Public A South section finals with an undefeated record. They didn’t lose a set until their 10th match of the year, either.
The Eagles traveled out of state for four matches and won all of them. They also downed Princeton, Southern, Moorestown, Cherokee, Notre Dame, and Union Catholic as key victories.

Coach of the Year: Maggie Reed, Cherokee
In her third season as the Chiefs head coach, Reed has helped the program to a steady climb. She took over for a team that went 11-14 in the previous season.
Then in 2023, Reed led Cherokee to a 12-9 season, then a 15-11 effort in 2024. This season, Cherokee nabbed 20 wins in 25 matches, and reached the championship of the always-loaded South Jersey Group 4 sectional tournament. Wins over perennial powerhouses Kingsway and Southern got them to the finals in an impressive effort.
