 "I am very proud of our beach volleyball team, and very happy for the four teams that qualified for the state tournament.  These exceptional student-athletes have worked very hard adapting to the different skills necessary to be successful beach players.  Beach volleyball is a very different game from indoor, and it's been incredible watching our players improve and compete," said coach Carl Ferreira.
