Third straight year team starts 4-0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head Coach Tanya Allen and the 2022 Beach Volleyball team kicked off the season with the TAMUK Invitational.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Javelinas beat all opponents during a cold front to start off the spring season at 4-0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve gone through a lot of different obstacles throughout offseason and still actively dealing with the pandemic, the uncertainty of it all but seeing all of the hard work pay off with a 4-0 start is a great feeling, and I\u2019m so proud of everyone and proud to be a part of this team,\u201d senior Roxanne Morris, who is currently in her third season, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the fourth time in program history and the third straight year the team starts the season 4-0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For freshman Madelyn Wallace, she could not ask for a better start to her collegiate career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am excited to be able to finally compete at the collegiate level because I have been working towards playing volleyball in college since I first started playing beach in La Verni,\u201d Wallace said. \u201cIt’s really cool that I am finally playing in my first year of college beach volleyball, especially under Coach Tanya because she is an amazing coach on the beach.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first matches of the weekend of Feb. 25 started with the Javelinas sweeping the Mary Hardin-Baylor Crusaders and finished with a come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Mesa Mavericks, after falling behind two matches to start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second day of the two-day event was another sweep to start the day against the Missouri Baptist Spartans and ended with a down-to-the wire 3-2 victory over the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks, capping off the weekend for the Javelinas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are going for the national championship, but we must take every practice and every game on first, and this season will be everything we worked for,\u201d Morris said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Javelinas traveled last weekend to the Tiger Beach Challenge in Louisiana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am pleased with our start – any wins are great wins. But I know there are many things we need to improve on,\u201d Allen said. \u201cWe have a very tough weekend ahead of us and we have spent a lot of time on broadening our offense a little bit. The more diverse our offense is, the more effective we will be.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
