"Mallory [Blauser] has established herself as one of the best players in the country this year and it is because of all the hard work she has put in these last 3 years," commented ASU Head Coach Chuck Waddington. "When your best players are your hardest workers, great things happen. This season is proof of that."

"Zoey [Hanrahan] was a major part of our success as a sophomore and junior in the middle," added Waddington. "Her athleticism and fast arm swing made her one of the top middles in the conference. I'm proud of her for sticking with us this season despite not being able to play."

Hasbrouck and Killeen will round out the players to be honored. Selected to the 2015 LSC All-Academic team, Hasbrouck has tallied 358 digs in 236 sets played during her career at ASU.

"Kelly [Hasbrouck] is one of our best all around players," continued Waddington. "She can pass, set, defend and is a heck of a beach player. She's also one of our toughest servers and her ability to fill multiple roles makes her a vital part of our program. Marinda [Killeen] is one of our fastest players on the court and also quite versatile being able to set for us but also play solid defense. She competes hard for us every day in the gym and always does it with a smile."
