HONOLULU – No 3 LSU avenged Saturday losses to both No. 5 Hawaii and No. 1 UCLA on Sunday on Queen's Beach to win the Duke Kahanamoku Beach Classic to open its season.
LSU defeated Hawaii in Sunday's first semi-final and took down UCLA in the Championship to win the classic.
"When it doesn't seem likely," said head coach Russell Brock, "our job is to do whatever we can, let it fall where it may and trust that the process is going to end up where it needs to end up."
It was the first time in program history that the Tigers were able to pick up a win over the Bruins.
