MONETERY, Calif. --- The Portland Pilots Beach Volleyball team concluded their weekend at the Monterey Invitational Saturday afternoon at the Monterey Bay Sand Courts in Calif. West Coast Conference competitor Saint Mary's and No. 13 Grand Canyon overcame the Pilots in both matches to close out the tournament.
"Saint Mary's and Grand Canyon are two very good teams," said head coach Jeff Baxter. "We learned a lot about ourselves today, and had some weaknesses exposed. We are excited to get back in the sand and get better."
Senior Monica Gajda and sophomore Lauren Naatz first took on the Gaels (6-3) 5's pairs to start the day.
