Emma Winter, Zoe Yates, Izzy Rodriguez and Ashlan Van Groningen have each been named to the all-conference team from The Master's beach volleyball team.

Head Coach Annett Davis was named the conference's 2026 Coach of the Year. It is the second time Coach Davis has been awarded by the conference for her beach volleyball coaching. She was also honored as GSAC Co-Coach of the Year for Indoor Women's Volleyball .

"These four have been the most consistent players on our team," Coach Davis said about her all-conference players. "They work so hard in practice, watching film, and in the weight room. That type of dedication pays off. I am thankful they were honored."

The 2s pair of Rodriguez and Van Groningen had a season record of 18-3 and had the second highest winning percentage (.857) among all teams in the conference.

Rodriguez is the only senior among the four.

Winter and Yates, the 1s pair for the Mustangs, went 13-8 on the season, fourth best among the conference top pair teams.

For Yates, a junior, this is the second time she has been honored by the conference as she was named the Freshman of the Year back in 2024. Last year she and her partner Faith Wada were named All-Americans.

Coach Davis, a member of the California Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame and 5th place finisher at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, is completing her seventh season coaching the Sandy Stangs.

Annika Booker and Evi Yates have been named NAIA First Team All-Americans in beach volleyball.

It is the first time in school history that a pair has earned the distinction.

Booker and Yates, both of whom are juniors, were the No. 1 pair for the Sandy Stangs all season long. Their 13-8 record was the best among all of the team's pairs, helping The Master's rank as the No. 9 team in the country.

"Obviously I'm very excited for them," said TMU Beach Volleyball Coach Annett Davis. "They had to overcome some things within their own pair in order to make that happen. I'm proud of them for the work that God has done in them individually. The teamwork we saw exhibited, how they communicated with each other, was all a testament to God's work in them which helped them to win as much as they did."

Together as a team for the last two years, Booker and Yates were an example to the other players on the team.

"They are both hard workers, they are both individuals who are going to give their all," Davis said. "But they had to figure out a way to be a better team this year, [to be] unified, and I think they were. They encouraged each other, they had to work through adversity, how to not just play to not lose but to play to win. And they learned how to call one another out, to say, 'I'm going to encourage you to play better.' They learned how to do that well. They did well last year, but it was a night and day difference who they were this year, which was cool to watch."
