BATON ROUGE – LSU Beach Volleyball climbed one spot to No. 2 Monday in the AVCA Poll following an opening weekend in which it won two top-five matches and took home the Duke Kahanamoku Beach Classic Championship.
This is the highest AVCA ranking in program history. The Tigers have now been ranked in the AVCA Top-20 for 38 consecutive polls including 11 straight in the Top-10. LSU received one first place vote this week.
After sweeping Stanford in the season opener, LSU dropped back-to-back matches to UCLA and Hawaii to finish Saturday.
LSU came out ready to attack on Sunday, avenging both of its Saturday losses.
