(Irving, TX) After placing second in the Big 12, three from Sun Devil Beach Volleyball are on the 2025 Big 12 All-Conference Team: Daniella Kensinger, Ava Kirunchyk and Samaya Morin.
Arizona State has had at least one all-conference honoree for three years in a row. Additionally, three in the same season ties the program record, which also was achieved in 2017. Kensinger, a junior, has now received all-conference nods in each of her three seasons after being All-Pac-12 in 2024 and All-WCC in 2023. For Kirunchyk and Morin, both redshirt juniors, this is their first all-conference award.

Kensinger had another stand-out season for the Sand Devils. She had a 21-14 record, playing primarily at the No. 1 court but also seeing time on court three. During the season, she had six wins over the top pairs from ranked teams, as well as a win against No. 7 Florida State’s threes. This season, she was the Big 12 Pair of the Week on March 5 with Ava Williamson, with whom she had a six-match winning streak.
Kirunchyk put together a 22-10 record in 2025, the second-best individual win total on the team. She played on the top two courts for the majority of the season. Against pairs from ranked opponents, she had nine wins, including four against top-10 teams and three against conference foe TCU. The win over the Horned Frogs’ top pair came in the Big 12 Championship Finals. Kirunchyk was paired with Morin and they swept TCU’s No.1 duo, the first time they had been swept all season. For their efforts, Morin and Kirunchyk were named to the Big 12 All-Tournament Team. Kirunchyk also won a Big 12 Pair of the Week award this season, winning on April 9 with Ava Williamson. That pair had a 10-match winning streak this season, which is the second-longest streak by a pair in program history.
After missing her first season with ASU in 2024 due to injury, Morin came back strong in 2025, compiling a 17-9 record. She played mostly between the No. 1 and 2 courts, earning an 11-6 mark on the top court. She had five wins over pairs from ranked teams, including two top-10 wins over No. 7 Florida State (helping the team get the dual upset) and against No. 2 TCU. Morin earned Big 12 All-Tournament Team honors alongside Kirunchyk after they went 3-1 at the tournament with a win over TCU’s top duo.
