COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Florida State beach volleyball players Alexis Durish, Audrey Koenig and Gella Andrew were selected by USA Volleyball for the 2025 Beach Collegiate National Team. Additionally, Florida State assistant coach and former Olympian Nick Lucena will serve as one of three coaches for the National Team.
