Freshman Earns Pac-12 Honors

STANFORD, Calif. – Kathryn Plummer has been named Pac-12 Beach Volleyball Freshman of the Year and All-Pac-12 First Team, as announced Thursday by the conference.

Plummer finished the season with a 13-13 overall record following the Pac-12 Conference Championships last week in Tucson, Arizona. In addition to earning freshman of the year honors, Plummer earned spots on the all-conference first team and all-freshman team.

Playing every match of the season at the No. 1 spot with fellow freshman Jenna Gray, Plummer competed in the Pac-12 Pairs Championship in Tucson. Plummer and Gray won their first two matches, earning a trip to the semifinals, but lost a narrow three-setter for a spot in the final.

The only freshman to make the All-Pac-12 First Team, Plummer earned AVCA National Freshman of the Year, AVCA First-Team All-America, All-Pac-12 First Team and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors on Stanford's national championship-winning indoor team in the fall.

The Pac-12 All-Conference teams and end-of-year awards were nominated and voted on by the league's nine head coaches.
