BVB | Gaels Swept by #3 Cardinal, Narrowly Edged by Dons
3/25/2024 5:15:00 PM | Women's Beach Volleyball
STANFORD, Calif. — The ever rare Monday beach volleyball doubleheader for the Gaels (10-9) pitted them against Bay Area foes Stanford (14-2) and San Francisco (6-10). The Gaels battled to the bitter end of each set, but ultimately dropped both, 5-0 and 3-2 respectively.
The Gaels battled valiantly against the third ranked Cardinal. Karmin Brown/AJ Slojkowski in the four spot, and Paola Peralta/Chloe Swanson in the five spot each finished a set within three points of the Cardinal pairings, however, the Gaels ultimately would be unable to take a set at Stanford.
Against the Dons, the Gaels dropped the first two points in the two and four spots, but Paola Peralta and Chloe Swanson, as well as Hawley Harrer and Hannah Couch drew the Saint Mary's level at two apiece. Allie Cataldo and Angie Bour dropped their first set, but made a statement with a 21-10 set two victory, forcing a match deciding set three. The two sides traded points up to 9-9, but the Dons went on a bit of a run late, taking the set and the match 15-13.
The Gaels will be back in action for the WCC Midseason Tournament, taking on San Francisco first.
