PAC-12 BEACH VOLLEYBALL PAIR OF THE WEEK:
Marlie Monserez (Gr./Windermere, Fla.) & Jessie Smith (So./Laguna Nigel, Calif.), UCLA
- A relatively new pair for the Bruins put together last week for the Pac-12 North Invitational.
- The duo went 4-0 on the weekend to improve to 6-0 on the year (3-0 each on courts four and five).
- They helped the Bruins improve to 30-2 with a 3-2 win over No. 1 TCU (the only team to beat the Horned Frogs this season) and a 3-2 win over No. 2 USC in the title match of the Center of Effort Challenge at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Calif.
- While they won all four of their matches over the weekend, none were bigger than the straight-set win over the previously undefeated TCU pair of Rochelle Scott and Hailey Brockett on court five (the Horned Frogs' duo was 20-0 entering that match).
ALSO NOMINATED: Taryn Ames & Sarah Waters, Arizona State; Sierra Caffo & Liz Waters-Leiga, California; Ella Tyus & Bea Wetton, Oregon; Charlie Ekstrom & Maya Harvey, Stanford; Madison Shields & Madison White, USC; Chloe Loreen & Natalie Robinson, Washington.
