Beach Volleyball at Pacific Wednesday After Split at USF

SAN JOSE, Calif.—The San José State beach team heads back to the sand this Wednesday as the Spartans will play two duals at Pacific on Wednesday, March 13, beginning at 2 p.m., at the Raney Sand Volleyball Courts. 

  • San José State begins the day with a 2-5 overall record, while Pacific is 0-7.
  • The Spartans are coming off a split of Saturday’s duals against San Francisco, winning the first 4-1, before falling, 3-2, in the second.
  • Shirley Morrison and Jaena Bell were the only Spartan pair to go 2-0 on the day.

“It was a solid day of competition against San Francisco on Saturday,” said Spartan Coach Gary Hodge. “We won the first dual fairly handily but didn’t quite have enough for the second dual. I was proud of the way our top-pair, Jaida Ward and Jada Hall, responded after a tough loss in the first match.

“I was also proud of Jaena Bell who made her first appearance in our lineup, winning both matches with her partner Shirley Morrison. “
