Good results for the trip. The team must have woken up and felt good today.
Sounds like they’re staying in the Florida to face FIU and FGCU on Wednesday in Miami. Expecting the team will be having fun in Orlando tomorrow.

The weather was horrible this weekend - very cold, windy, rain - Tornado warnings in some parts of Florida not far away. Good on them for keeping their focus. Hopefully it's warmer in Miami!

Anyone know if Rusich and/or Bennett made the trip?

If they have an off day today to have fun in Orlando like I suspect, then you’ll likely see some photos in the individual instagrams with maybe a team shot on the main USC Beach IG/Twitter.  At the minimum, they’ll have some social media when they get to South Beach.
