LEXINGTON, Ky. — Saint Mary's beach volleyball's top pair of Lindsey Knudsen and Payton Rund was named Honorable Mention All-America Thursday by the American Volleyball Coaches Association following a very successful spring season.
It is the first All-America honor for both Knudsen and Rund, as well as the first for the Saint Mary's beach volleyball program. The All-America accolades pile on to Knudsen and Rund's already decorated 2017 season. Both were named to the all-West Coast Conference first team. Knudsen was named WCC Defensive Player of the Year. And the SMC duo was named the National Pair of the Week by DiG Beach Volleyball Magazine for the week of March 20-26.
