MALIBU, Calif. - Head Coach Marcio Sicoli and his staff announced today that Kenzi McSpadden will join the Pepperdine beach volleyball team's 2025 roster.

Additionally, her faith and competitiveness will contribute tremendously to our team culture! Welcome to Malibu Kenzi!"
McSpadden, originally from Parker, Colo., went to Lutheran High School before competing for the Missouri State Bears beach volleyball team.
While in high school, McSpadden was a three-year varsity starter and won three league and district championships. She also garnered All-Metro first team, All-District first team, All-State honorable mention honors and was on the academic honor roll.
