LEXINGTON, Ky.ย -- The UCLA Bruins have four players represented on the 2025ย AVCA All-America teams, as announced by the AVCA, which unveiled its 13th annual Collegiate Beach All-America Teams today.
This year, the first and second teams include 16 members each, and the 32 players honored represent 12 schools. UCLA has now produced 30 AVCA All-Americans.
The Bruins' court one pair of juniorย Maggie Boyd and freshman Sally Perezย were both named AVCA First Team All-Americans. It marked the third-straight year that Boyd has made the First Team. Perez was the only freshman in the country to earn First Team accolades. The duo isย 28-4 (all on court one) on the year entering the NCAA Championship.
