After finishing runner-up to USC at the Pac-12 Conference Championships, the Arizona sand volleyball team will head to the 2016 NCAA Beach Volleyball Championships from May 6-8 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Arizona sent two duos to the NCAA tournament last season, but this is the first time that it will compete in the team tournament.
Arizona head coach Steve Walker was previously an associate head coach for the women’s indoor volleyball team and moved to head coach of sand volleyball in 2013.
Each season has presented a new challenge in terms of player changes and team dynamic.
