The AVCA is pleased to announce its All-Americans for NAIA Beach Volleyball. For the third season, there are eight honorees, and the recipients represent the four teams that advanced to the semifinals of the NAIA Beach Invitational.

This year’s All-Americans include Emma Bischoff and Emmi Marks of Corban; Maya Blake and Eliana Dean of OUAZ; Grace Gulbrandsen and Tessa Zimmermann of Southern Oregon; and Taisiia Kalchenko and Deniz Yileri of Wayland Baptist.

The 2026 Invitational, which took place over the weekend in Mesa, Arizona, brought together eight teams—Arizona Christian, Ave Maria, Corban, The Master’s, OUAZ, New College of Florida, Southern Oregon, and Wayland Baptist. Following pool play, the teams moved into the single-elimination tournament, which saw Southern Oregon earn its first-ever crown.
