It will be a busy week for beach volleyball, with a number of tournaments and independent matches to take place.
The most notable tournament will be the Gamecock challenge, which will feature five top-15 squads, including two top-five teams – #1 USC and #4 Florida State. The Women of Troy will look to keep their undefeated season intact, while #9 South Carolina will look to keep climbing up the rankings at the tournament. The Gamecock’s were able to sweep each of their opponents last this past Sunday, UAB and FGCU – with the match to FGCU taking three set for three of the squads.
