BVB | Gaels Host First Annual SMC Showdown in the Sand

MORAGA, Calif. --- Saint Mary's Beach Volleyball wrapped up their fall season by hosting the SMC Showdown in the Sand. The event, which was split between Saint Mary's campus and the beach volleyball courts at Moraga Commons Park, played host to 32 pairs from Saint Mary's, USF, UC Davis and San Jose State. The 70 degree, sun soaked day painted an excellent backdrop for the event that featured some of the top beach talent in Northern California.

The pair of Cameron Martinez and Paola Peralta continued their brilliant Fall, as the duo served as the top pair for the Gaels on the day. Meanwhile, the sophomore combo of Angie Bour and Grace Travis continued to elevate their game on the sand.

Head Coach Janice Harrer summed up the event by saying, "It is a gratifying feeling for a coach when your players execute the many hours of training in live competition! I watched our Gaels pass, set and hit at the highest level with consistency and confidence!

Fall competition has now come to a close of SMC Beach Volleyball. The Gaels will restart competition on February 24 against Cal.
