(Tempe, AZ) Redshirt seniors Ava Kirunchyk and Samaya Morin were honored for their high level of play this season with Sun Devil Beach Volleyball, earning AVCA All-America Second Team honors as well as spots on the 2026 All-Big 12 Team, as announced on Thursday.
Morin is an All-American for the second year in a row, while Kirunchyk is an All-American for the first time in her career. For both Kirunchyk and Morin, this is their second-straight All-Big 12 Team nod. This is the fourth season in a row Arizona State has had at least one person on an all-conference team. Additionally, this is the third season in a row that ASU has had at least one All-American, upping the total to four.

Kirunchyk and Morin played almost every dual together, all on the top court. They went 20-9, which was the best record for a pair on the team this season. That mark is tied for the fourth-best single season record by a pair in team history. They had 13 wins over pairs from ranked opponents and started the season with a 10-0 record.
Individually, Kirunchyk led the team in wins with a 22-11 mark. She played just four duals without Morin, teaming up with Olivia McElroy to go 2-2.
