“The whole season really is such a long time coming for us,” head coach Wayne Holly said. “[The players] are so anxious to get going.”
The team enters its fifth overall season on strong footing, earning No. 18 ranking nationally, according to the DiG Magazine's NCAA Beach Volleyball Preseason Poll.
“I’m proud about the fact that we’re the one of the few nationally ranked teams in the country,” Holly said. “Internally, I’ve always just measured our success by how we perform every day. We all know what we’re about, we don’t necessarily look outside of our program for that reassurance.
