Great win against Stetson today! Will be a fun season .. 4-0 so far! Wish I could have seen it. Kind of an odd day/time for a match. How did the team look? It was a good win,, and may help in the at-large bid hunt later. I predicted elsewhere that Stetson was going to have a down year, around .500 - did you get to see the match, and can you comment on their skills or athleticism? As a side note, LBSU is actually 3-0, the Irvine Valley match does not count toward their record. A single JuCo match (or club team) can be counted toward meeting the minimum match sponsorship criteria for being a varsity sport, but does not count toward the team record. They may have counted these when Beach (Sand) was an Emerging Sport, but did not count last year, nor will they count this season. 31.3.3.1.1 Countable Competition. For NCAA team-championship selection purposes, competition is countable only when the teams played are varsity intercollegiate teams of four-year, degree-granting institutions that conduct a majority of their competition in that team sport against varsity intercollegiate teams (see Constitution 3.3.4.4) of four-year, degree-granting institutions located in Canada and the United States, its territories or possessions. Competition against service teams, professional teams, semiprofessional teams, amateur teams, two-year colleges and club teams shall be excluded. (Revised: 2/4/08, 1/18/14 effective 8/1/15) You could make some arguments about NAIA matches counting (is it considered a varsity sport or Emerging?) and whether some NCAA teams count as real matches; those that just play a handful of matches (not varsity if they don't play minimum number of matches). However, it is crystal clear that JuCo do not count. |

I did not get to see the match so I can not comment on skills/athleticism. I do know that LBSU is still playing around with their team line ups and I am sure will adjust for this weekends matches. Thanks for the info on Inland Valley .. funny, IVC is better than a lot of the D1 beach programs.

The Long Beach team continues to impress, but how about the #1 pair of Rachel Nieto and Nele Barber? The 2 Juniors are now 13-0, after taking care of Concordia and Colorado Mesa yesterday. In the win streak, they have beaten 2 number 2-ranked teams (Florida State and Pepperdine), as well as other ranked teams like LSU, Stetson and Georgia State, while losing only 2 sets. In addition they beat the always tough Sarah Sponcil and her partner Savannah Slattery at LMU. The REAL test starts on Monday when Long Beach takes on UCLA and the McNamara twins...and of course, they still haven't played USC, Hawaii or Arizona...nonetheless, an excellent season so far for LBSU and Nieto/Barber.
