Beach Set To Host Tiger Beach Challenge
BATON ROUGE – The No. 1 LSU Beach Volleyball Team is set to host the Tiger Beach Challenge at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium, February 28–March 1. The tournament will showcase LSU, South Florida, North Alabama, Southeastern, North Alabama and ULM.
“Looking forward to getting back in the sand for competition,” said head coach Russell Brock. “Always enjoy playing in our stadium and the first home event is always special. Hoping to have the LSU faithful come to support us this weekend in the best home beach facility in the country!”
The Tigers will face Florida Gulf Coast on Friday morning at 8:30 AM CT, followed by a matchup against No. 6 FSU at 12:50 PM. LSU continues play Sunday afternoon with matches against North Alabama at 12:20 PM, Southern Miss at 4:40 PM and Spring Hill at 7:50 PM.
The Sandy Tigs are coming off the Beach Burg Invitational, where LSU went 4-1 with their only loss being against No. 7 FSU. Brock debuted five new players to the starting lineup, including junior Gracey Campbell, sophomore Tatum Finlason, and true freshmen Julia Sprecher and Camryn Chatellier. Over the course of that weekend, senior Parker Bracken tallied her 80th win in an LSU jersey and is on track to hit her 100th this season.
