TUCSON, Ariz. – On the first day of the Bear Down Beach Tournament, Arizona State beach volleyball split its matches, beating North Florida 3-2 and falling to No. 15 Arizona 3-2 on Friday.
After extending the winning streak to six, Arizona State (8-4, 1-3 Pac-12) suffered a loss to in-state rival Arizona. The two teams will play twice this year, so each match counts as a half point in the Territorial Cup.
Seniors Oluoma Okaro and Ashley Wenz remain perfect in their matches since pairing together seven matches ago. Three of the matches in the streak have gone to three sets, including one today against North Florida.
