During the voting process for this year’s VolleyballMag.com Girls Beach Fab 50, we were inundated with names to include on the annual bolt-on Underclassmen to Watch List that highlights non-senior players (most of which eventually move up to the Fab 50 list in subsequent years).
Thus, we decided to not limit the Underclassmen list to specific number, thus giving more exposure and earned recognition to more non-senior players throughout the country.
This year’s Underclassmen to Watch List totals 78 players.
And like the Girls Beach Fab 50, these players are voted on by an esteemed panel of NCAA women’s beach coaches and prominent coaches/movers and shakers from the girls club beach scene.
Top vote-getters on the Underclassmen to Watch List include Class of 2025s Savannah Thomas (Texas commit), Stanford commit Ivanna Rivera Vargas, as well as Spiker beach players Kyra Zaengle (USC commit) and Elena Fisher (Stanford commit). MBsand player Mallory LaBreche (UCLA commit) also drew high marks when it comes to the current junior class.
The voting panel also was high on a number of 2026 players (current sophomores), including Allyn Brewer (MADSAND in Texas), Emma Champagne (MBsand), Audrey Flanagan (Elite Beach), Sara Moynihan (MBsand), Olga Nikolaeva (Elite Beach), Simone Roslon (MBsand), Jordyn Scribner (MADSAND) and Pennsylvania native Sarah Wood. Current freshman and Seattle resident Janie McCanna (Spiker) also is on plenty of radars. Wood is part of the USA Volleyball Beach U19 national team.
We tried our best to include all players heights and high schools. If you notice missing information or a club affiliation/college commitment that needs changing, email Mike Miazga at mike@volleyballmag.com.
