Day 2 of the USA Volleyball Collegiate Beach Championships saw pool play wrap up for each of the three men’s pools, A through C. Of the 12 men’s teams, the top two teams out of each men’s pool will advance, the highest of the third-place finishers (according to point ratio) will advance. A play-in match between the next two third-place finishers based on point ratio will determine the final single-elimination bracket spot.

Hawaii’s Brett Rosenmeier and Colton Cowell recorded another straight set win, dominating Mount St. Joseph’s Brett Cooper and Alex Vohland 21-13, 21-12 to cruise to the top spot in Pool C.
