Opening DualFeb 21, 2019 at 8:00 am PT Sunset Canyon Recreation Center, Los Angeles, LA #1 UCLA vs. #6 Cal Poly--- With little change to roster, UCLA beach volleyball returns to defend title dailybruin.com/2019/02/20/with-little-change-to-roster-ucla-beach-volleyball-returns-to-defend-title"I think the story for this year is the fact that we have five seniors who are extremely experienced," said head coach Stein Metzger. UCLA also added sophomore Lea Monkhouse – a transfer from Hawaii. UCLA boasts an incoming class of six freshmen – four of whom are AVCA High School Beach All-Americans. They were all recruited because of their stellar ball control, which he said defines the Bruins’ style of play. "They’re making the adjustment quicker than any freshman class that I’ve seen," said Metzger. UCLA senior Megan McNamara: "We have such peace of mind that if an injury happens or anything happens down the road this season, we have so many great players we can pull off the bench and plug in."

I am guessing it would have been Sponcil/Justine vs. Jones/Miric?

UCLA senior Megan McNamara: "We have such peace of mind that if an injury happens or anything happens down the road this season, we have so many great players we can pull off the bench and plug in." Someone from the Daily Bruin didn't do their research. The article states Monkhouse (UH Transfer) went 2-2 against Sponcil/Justine and she actually only played them once at the NCAA tournament losing to them in 3 sets. They actually split with Yeomans and Zappia 1 match a piece.

The McNamaras are grinders and SOOOO talented. Torrey/Emily were doing all they good but in the end the McNamaras' ball control and defense were impressive. I really enjoyed watching Abby Van Winkle and Zana Muno-- Muno is a workhorse and pounded her share of balls today. Hopefully more video posts!

The first game was a little rough, but we came back and won the next two. It was so fun. I want to play again. Right now." - volleyballmag.com UCLA head coach Stein Metzger: "The takeaway from last year was a sense of confidence – that we can do this. However, this is a totally new team, and we haven’t accomplished anything but one win." - dailybruin.com"People are going to want to beat us even more. (...) We talked all fall about worrying about ourselves and playing to our standards, playing our brand of volleyball which is a lot of ball control, an aggressive style of serving, running plays, scrappy defense," said Stein Metzger. - p1440.com
