Joining Beauchene on the all-conference team were senior outside hitter Jayme Wright (second team), junior middle hitter Kazmiera Imrie (second team) and sophomore outside hitter Sandra Bandimere (honorable mention). Beauchene was one of only two players unanimously selected to the first team. Eastern Washington’s Janelle Ruen, who was the other unanimous first team selection, was named the conference MVP.

Beauchene, who was also unanimously selected to the first team last season, is first among team leaders in hitting percentage (.363) and assists (10.74 per game), second in digs (2.98 per game), and fourth in kills (1.93 per game) and blocks (0.70 per game). Her hitting percentage also leads the Big Sky and is the 30th-best in the nation. The Auburn, Wash., native has three triple-doubles this season (kills, assists and digs) and has hit at least .300 in 22 matches. A two-time Big Sky Player of the Week this year, Beauchene recorded 10 kills and a .769 hitting percentage last week at Portland State, the seventh-best hitting percentage mark in Sacramento State single-match history. The setter has also started in a team-best 93-consecutive matches over the last three years and leads the Big Sky with 20 double-doubles.

Wright, who earned second team honors last season, leads the Hornets and is ranked seventh in the Big Sky averaging 3.43 digs per game. The Pleasanton, Calif., native is second on the team in kills (3.38 per game) and has 14 double-doubles (kills and digs) this season and 41 for her career. Wright, who has started 83-consecutive matches over the last three years, became the eighth player in Sacramento State history to surpass the 1,000-kill plateau earlier this season and currently has 1,215 career kills and 1,277 career digs. Those numbers rank her seventh and ninth, respectively, all-time at Sacramento State. The team’s only four-year senior, Wright has tallied double digits in digs in all but 10 matches this season.

Imrie, who was an honorable mention all-Big Sky selection last season, received second team honors this year. Among team leaders, the Fairfield, Calif., native ranks second in blocks (1.12 per game) and hitting percentage (.282), third in kills (2.78 per game), and fifth in digs (1.52 per game). Imrie has tallied double figures in kills 19 times this season, including a career-high 18 against Idaho State. The middle hitter narrowly missed her first career triple-double against Temple (11 kills, 10 digs and nine blocks) and has hit at least .300 in 18 contests this season. Her current total of 311 career total blocks is the 10th-best mark in Sacramento State history.

Bandimere received the first all-conference selection of her career and currently leads the Hornets and is eighth in the Big Sky with 3.42 kills per game. The Roseville, Calif., native has recorded double-digit kills in 21 of her last 25 matches, including a career-high 27 in a victory at Montana. Bandimere, who played sparingly as a freshman, leads the Hornets with 22 double-figure kill matches and has raised her hitting percentage 124 points from last season to its current mark of .233. The sophomore has led the team in kills in 12 of the last 19 matches and has hit at least .300 nine times over that span.

All four players have been major contributors to a Sacramento State team that finished the regular season with a 22-10 overall record and an 11-3 mark in the Big Sky. The Hornets are the No. 2 seed in the Big Sky Tournament which will be played this Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 21-23, in Cheney, Wash. By virtue of their No. 2 seed, the Hornets receive a first-round bye and will play Friday night at 6 p.m. The winner of the Big Sky Tournament receives an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
