SACRAMENTO -- Sacramento State volleyball's remarkable 2025 season continued with five major honors in the annual all-Big Sky Conference awards, led by sophomore outside hitter Victoria Marthaler being named the conference MVP.

Collectively, the Hornets racked up four individual honors, including Marthaler named MVP, senior setter Kate Doorn named the Big Sky Setter of the Year, junior Reese Ampi named Libero of the Year, and outside hitter Keonahi'ilani Solaita named Freshman of the Year. If that wasn't enough, senior Ashlynn Archer, one of the top middle blockers in the country, was named first team all-conference. Marthaler and Doorn joined Archer on the first team, and the three first teamers are tied for most in program history.

The accolades come after the Hornets concluded the regular season with a 19-9 overall record and 12-4 mark in conference play. Sacramento State finished in second place, and will be the No. 2 seed at next week's Big Sky Tournament where it will play No. 7 seed Portland State in the quarterfinal round on Monday at 3 p.m. PT.
