The Master's beach volleyball team traveled to Northridge, Calif. Wednesday for a tri-match involving NCAA Division I CSUN and Nebraska.
The Sandy Stangs, which remain ranked No. 3 in the NAIA Top 10 poll released Wednesday, lost all five pairs matches to the Matadors of CSUN in the morning, but got a pair of wins against the Cornhuskers before succumbing 3-2.
Four of the five pairs lost both sets to the Matadors, with the 2s pair of
Faith Wada and
Zoe Yates getting the lone set win.
Against Nebraska,
Annika Gudnason and
Evi Roberts won their 1s match 14-21, 21-17, 15-13. The 3s pair of
Grace Colburn and
Violet Avila won their match 21-19, 21-18.
"Our 1s have been struggling to win a third set so it was great for them to get that win," said TMU Head Coach
Annett Davis. "And the 3s played one of the most controlled, aggressive and smart games that I have seen them play. Very happy for them. Our exhibition match (
Emma Winter/arianna DeRaffaele) was a win as well. All the teams fought hard today."
TMU will next travel to Moorpark College on Saturday where they will once again play Nebraska. The Mustangs will also play Moorpark College and Santa Barbara City College on the same day, all part of a quad-match.
