Arizona beach volleyball bounced back from their weekend of four straight losses in California to split the first day of the LSU Tournament in Baton Rouge, La. The ‘Cats crushed Texas A&M – Kingsville by a score of 4-1 but fell short to No. 10 LSU by a close score of 2-3.
Texas A&M - Kingsville
In the first half of the Louisiana doubleheader, the SandCats saw a dominant performance from the No. 1 pair, Olivia Macdonald and Natalie Anselmo, as they swept the Javelinas' Gabby Atchley and Whitney Walker (21-19 and 21-10). Macdonald and Anselmo lost three out of their four past matches in California, so their win against TAMUK’s Atchley and Walker brought them out of a crucial rut for the overall success of the team.
