The duo became the 14th and 15th All-Americans in program history and the fourth UH<\/abbr> pair in the past five years to receive national recognition. Lawrenz and Stedile teamed up in all 34 matches this season, posting a team-best 23\u20138 record while primarily competing at the No.<\/abbr> 1 spot.<\/p>\n

Lawrenz, a three-year starter, adds the honor to her resume after earning first-team all-conference recognition and establishing herself as one of the nation\u2019s top blockers. Stedile also earned first-team all-conference honors in her first season with the Rainbow Wahine, following a standout indoor career at Hofstra where she previously received All-America recognition.<\/p>\n

The pair is among 32 players nationwide selected to the AVCA<\/abbr> All-America teams, continuing a strong tradition for Rainbow Wahine beach volleyball, which has produced at least one All-American in 11 of its 14 seasons.<\/p>\n
