TALLAHASSEE – Florida State beach volleyball standouts Alexis Durish and Audrey Koenig were named AVCA First-Team All-Americans on Wednesday afternoon, earning recognition as two of the nation's top players.

This marks Durish's first AVCA All-America honor, while Koenig previously earned AVCA Third-Team honors for indoor volleyball in 2024. They become the 18th and 19th Seminoles in program history to earn First-Team All-America honors, and the first FSU duo since 2023 to be selected to the top team in the same year.

"AK and Alexis are the embodiment of what it means to be an All-American," said head coach Brooke Niles. "They're high-character individuals whose success on the court is matched by their leadership and the example they set as elite teammates."

Durish and Koenig compiled a 24-8 record on court one in 2025, defeating many of the nation's top pairs. Their All-America honors add to an already impressive list of accolades, including CCSA Co-Pair of the Year, All-Conference First Team, All-Tournament Team, and Pair of the Week (Feb. 24, 2025).
