Carlton at the 1s, wow. Big step up for her, we'll see how her height blocking affects the match.

Is one of the Nourses not 100%? Last tournament they lost to an ASU freshman who graduated for HS early, now another loss.

The Nourse twins have not been consistently good since the last part of last season. It has continued this season as they struggle more than they should against inferior opponents. Don’t know if it’s physical with injuries not disclosed or psychological. But with their talent, a win at the 4 pair should be almost automatic with the exception of a few opponents. Their game and performance must improve down the stretch and especially the National Championship tournament for SC to repeat. If they win at their spot, whether they are the 4th or 5th pair, will make it difficult to beat SC for the national championship. But if they falter, the door is open for several teams, mostly ucla, to take the championship away. The twins will be they key down the stretch.

When the Nourse twins win at the 4 pairs, SC is virtually impossible to beat. Great job, girls!

5-0 but lines 3-5 could’ve gone either way. Parity is real in NCAA beach vball.

"We lost today, and you don’t want to lose ever, but we lost to a great team," said TCU head coch Hector Gutierrez. "We’re OK with that. If we have to lose let’s lose to them. We know what we need to get better at. If you look at our schedule, we have the toughest of any team, and we’ve proved that we can beat anybody and that we’re a hard team to beat."
