Knazur, a junior middle, was a significant presence at the net as Aurora defeated Concordia Chicago and Edgewood to clinch a share of the 2026 NACC women's volleyball title. She averaged 1.14 blocks per set over the two matches, recording three block assists in a sweep of Concordia Chicago Oct. 29,. Knazur then posted five blocks (one solo) and three digs as the Spartans emerged with a 3-1 win in a matchup of the NACC's preseason title favorites.
