Beebe, who has developed into a high quality defensive specialist, finished with a 4.89 digs per game average, and was just behind West Florida's Tori Martello. The first-team All-GSC selection averaged 4.90 per game. "Makayla has had an amazing year," noted Hudson. "She has been a defensive threat all year and so many of the opposing coaches have paid her compliments. She is an amazing leader on the court, and I am so happy for her to get this her first year as a libero."
