Six members of the Cal Poly Mustangs women’s volleyball team have been recognized by the Big West Conference for their performances this season, with Emme Bullis and Kendall Beshear earning spots on the All-Big West First Team.
Emme Bullis, a redshirt senior from Whitewater, Wisconsin, received her fourth career all-conference honor. After previously earning honorable mentions in 2022 and 2023 and a second-team selection last season, she advanced to the first team this year. Bullis surpassed 1,000 assists for the third time in her career and became only the fourth Mustang in Division I history to reach 4,000 career assists. Her total of 4,159 assists ranks fourth in Cal Poly’s record book.
Bullis also set personal bests in several categories this season: kills (56), total attempts (150), hitting percentage (.273), and points per set (1.00). She led the team with 11 double-doubles and was third in digs with 249.
Kendall Beshear, a sophomore, joined Bullis on the All-Big West First Team. Beshear contributed as both an offensive threat and a defender. She finished second on the team with 322 kills (3.16 per set) and posted a .272 hitting percentage. Her jump serve resulted in a team-high 40 service aces (0.39 per set), ranking second in the conference. Defensively, she had 233 digs (2.28 per set) and added 50 blocks.
Chloe Leluge was named to the All-Big West Second Team after being recognized as an All-Freshman last year. Leluge led Cal Poly with a .374 hitting percentage—second-best in the conference—and ranked among national leaders for efficiency. She also topped the team with 109 blocks (1.04 per set).
Annabelle Thalken and Emma Fredrick received honorable mentions from the conference. Thalken recorded 249 kills at a .299 hitting percentage and collected 72 blocks (0.69 per set). Fredrick led Cal Poly offensively with 352 kills (3.35 per set) over 930 attacks, contributed 30 service aces (0.29 per set), and was second on the team with 290 digs (2.76 per set).
Charlotte Kelly earned a spot on the Big West All-Freshman Team for her defensive work at the net alongside Leluge and for stepping into a key middle blocker role vacated by Breklyn Pulling from last season’s squad. Kelly had 107 blocks (1.02 per set) and scored 149 kills while maintaining a .315 hitting percentage.
