BATON ROUGE – The Purple Squad defeated the Gold Squad during beach volleyball's annual Purple vs. Gold Scrimmage at LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium one week before the Tigers are scheduled to begin play for their 2020 season.
Playing four rounds in which each pair played one set per round, Purple won, 14-10, in a final competition tune-up before the team heads to Hawaii next weekend to face three AVCA Top-20 teams.
"The results aren't necessarily as important today," said head coach Russell Brock. "It's more how we played. I thought we played so well today and we're super excited looking forward to next weekend.
