STANFORD, Calif. – Five members of Stanford's beach volleyball program were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic teams, as announced Thursday by Commissioner Larry Scott.
Sophomores Courtney Bowen and Jennifer DiSanto led the Cardinal with second-team honors in their first seasons of eligibility for the all-academic teams. Sophomore Payton Chang, junior Catherine Raquel and senior Ivana Vanjak also earned recognition with honorable mentions.
It was the second consecutive all-academic selection for Vanjak and Raquel, while all student-athletes eligible for the all-academic teams have earned at least an honorable mention in each of the past two years.
