Texas Beach Volleyball had six student-athletes named to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) All-Academic Team, the conference office announced on May 26.

Seniors Macey Butler, Chloe Charles, Katie Hashman, Emma Grace Robertson, and Karin Zolnercikova, along with sophomore Brecht Piersma, were recognized for their academic achievements during the 2025-26 school year. The announcement highlights the athletes’ performance in both academics and athletics.

The group contributed to Texas capturing the 2026 MPSF Conference Championship and advancing to the program’s first Final Four appearance. Their recognition reflects their dual commitment on and off the court.
