In the sports third season at the University of Arizona, the SandCats are ranked No. 9 in the DiG Collegiate Beach Volleyball Preseason Poll. Led by head coach Steve Walker and assistant coach Tayyiba Haneef-Park, the team includes four freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors, and three seniors.
The young SandCats started their season playing against each other in the Red-Blue scrimmage to get the feel for how it will be to play in front of fans. The Red and Blue teams played a four-set match and the Red team which included last season’s stars, Madison and McKenna Witt, won out.
