“Really excited for this weekend,” said head coach Russell Brock. “The Death Volley Invitational is the best college beach volleyball tournament in the country! To have the opportunity to test ourselves against some of the best teams in the country, in the best facility in the country, in front of the best college fans in the country is an absolute honor!”
