The seventh-ranked USC beach volleyball team (16-6) will stay in Southern California for the next three weekends, starting with the Best in the West event at Laguna Beach’s Main Beach on Friday, April 4. The Women of Troy will face No. 4 Stanford (16-6) and No. 17 Hawai’i (10-12) in their first matches. On Saturday, April 5, USC will take on No. 19 Washington (11-9) and No. 16 North Florida (17-1).
This season, USC has had to adjust to several lineup changes, with 16 different lineups and 28 different pairings across 22 duals. Despite these changes, one consistent factor for the Trojans has been their No. 2 pair of freshman Kennedy Coakley and sophomore Ashley Pater, who have won 12 consecutive matches and lead all USC pairs with a 16-2 record. At the top court, sophomore Zoey Henson and junior Madison White have earned a solid 14-5 record.
While USC has played across California, this weekend will mark their first-ever dual matches in Laguna Beach.
