The second week of the beach volleyball season is about to begin with a number of huge top-15 match-ups.
The most notable tournament of the weekend will be the East Meets West Invitational which features more than half of the top-ranked teams in the nation at eight. #1 USC will take on #10 LSU and #12 FIU, while #2 Florida State has a more tough slate having to take on #6 Long Beach State, #3 Pepperdine and #4 UCLA.
At the ASU Tournament there will be a rematch between #8 Arizona and #12 Arizona State, with the then un-ranked Sun Devils upsetting the Wildcats 3-2.
The Hawaii Invite will feature #5 Hawaii, #9 Stetson and Loyola Marymount for a tri-meet.
