The defending NCAA Champion USC Beach Volleyball team schedule is out and the Trojans will ‘fight on’ against their mega-rivals UCLA in their first match of the 2017 season. That game will come at the Pepperdine Tournament on March 4, 2017 in Malibu, California, and on the same day the Trojans will play Pepperdine – the team that was the 3rd seed at last year’s NCAA tournament.
The Trojans will play a schedule befitting of their title as champions, including two rematches, one on March 18th and the other on March 25th, against Florida State: the team they beat in last year’s NCAA Championship game.
In total, the Trojans will play every other team that participated in last year’s 8-team NCAA tournament at least once, plus near-miss-qualifiers LSU. And if their collegiate competition isn’t enough, on March 10th they’ll play an exhibition against the United States National Team.
