LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola's Kelsey Mitchell, Kristen Peterson and Meghan Warkentin earned All-Golden State Athletic Conference volleyball honors and head coach Aaron Seltzer repeated as GSAC Coach of the Year as the conference announced its yearly awards on Wednesday.

Warkentin, a senior outside hitter from Visalia, earned all-conference honors for the third-straight season.

The senior from El Cajon capped an impressive career at Biola by becoming just the 10th player in school history to amass 1,000 kills. She currently has 1,029 kills in four seasons and is only 20 away from moving into seventh on the all-time list. 

Peterson, a senior middle blocker, had the best season in her four-year career at Biola, recording 191 kills (1.99/set) and adding 98 blocks including 14 solo. Her .340 attack percentage was the sixth best in the GSAC as she had 191 kills and just 61 errors in 382 attacks. Peterson's block total ranked sixth in the conference and led the team. In four seasons at Biola, Peterson has recorded 287 blocks--the fourth-best total in school history.
