Grand Canyon beach volleyball junior Allison Hansen was among nine players selected for the 2023 Beach Collegiate National Team on behalf of the National Team Development Program.
"I am super excited to have the opportunity to play for the Collegiate National Team," Hansen said. "I have been dreaming of this since my freshman year, and it is an honor that it has become a reality."
The 2023 Women's Beach Collegiate National Team the top collegiate athletes who are eligible to train and compete for the national program. This year's training block will be held in Chula Vista, California, on June 11-17 at the Elite Athlete Training Center.
Hansen is part of GCU's No. 1 pair this season with Abbie Hughes, leading GCU to a No. 7 national seed for the team's second consecutive NCAA tournament qualifier. The 6-foot native of Everett, Washington, set a program record with 28 victories last season.

Ross competed in three Olympics (2012, 2016 and 2020) and has won gold, silver and bronze medals.
