USC Beach Volleyball's Madison White and Zoey Henson Tabbed First-Team AVCA All-Americans
April 30, 2025 | Women's Beach Volleyball
Kennedy Coakley and Ashley Pater were chosen to the AVCA All-America second team
LEXINGTON, Ky. – USC beach volleyball junior Madison White (Scottsdale, Ariz./ASU Preparatory Academy) and sophomore Zoey Henson (Cypress, Calif./Cypress HS) were each named to the AVCA All-America first team on Wednesday, April 30. Freshman Kennedy Coakley (Lutz, Fla./Steinbrenner HS) and sophomore Ashley Pater (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS) were selected to the second team.
Â
While all four Women of Troy earn their first-career All-America awards, their selections lift USC's all-time totals to 19 All-Americans and 36 certificates; both of which lead all colleges. The Trojans also earn their 30th first-team certificate which ranks highest among all schools. It is the sixth time that four Trojans have earned All-America laurels in the same year (2015, '17, '19, '21, '22). Coakley is USC's first freshman All-American since Megan Kraft was chosen in 2021 for her first of four-career All-America honors.
Â
White and Henson have played together on the top court most of the season and produced a 22-11 record. They've put together three separate five-match win streaks and were chosen as the MPSF/Molten Pair of the Week on April 8. Coakley and Pater produced the eighth-longest win streak in program history with 20-straight wins between March 1 and April 12. They are 27-4 together at the No. 2 position and were named the AVCA/CBVB National Pair of the Week on April 7. The duo was also chosen to the MPSF's All-Tournament Team last week.
Â
The Trojans—seeded fifth—make their ninth NCAA tournament appearance this week and will defend their four straight national titles on Gulf Shores sand in Alabama. USC (26-10) received an at-large berth takes on 12th-seeded North Florida (26-10) in a first-round dual at 9 a.m. CT (7 a.m. PT) on Friday (May 2). All duals at the NCAA championship will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPN.
