Among the honorees, Beasley, a senior outside hitter, was among the league leaders last year in kills per set and points per set in route to First Team All-OVC accolades.
Beilsmith, a senior libero, earned Second Team All-OVC laurels last year as she broke her own school record for digs in a single-season.
Finally, Greene, a senior rightside hitter, earned OVC All-Tournament Team honors last year and her Preseason All-OVC nod is the second in her career.
