MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. – Boise State beach volleyball completed its weekend at the Collegiate Pairs West Coast Championship, Sunday.
The Broncos sent its top two pairs teams to compete at the three-day event, finishing with a combined 5-6 record. Rorianna Chartier and Sierra Land finished the weekend 4-3 while Madison Nichols and Lily Patock went 1-2.
Both duos lost their opening matches of the double-elimination tournament and were sent to the consolation bracket. Nichols and Patock lost their sole consolation match, while Chartier and Land advanced to the next round via forfeit before getting eliminated. The two pairs spent the remainder of the weekend playing exhibition matches against other available teams.
Quotables
"It was great to compete against some of the top competition in the region. In any given season we might play two or three of the top teams. Everybody here was from a top team. The pressure was constant. It was sink or swim from the beginning which is what we needed to see." - assistant coach Alex Venardos
"Both of our pairs are playing up a spot from where they were playing last year. The competition this weekend was a notch above as well and we went blow for blow a lot of the time. We just need to have that confidence that we can compete. That energy can prevent some of the lapses that we saw." - Venardos
What's Next
Chartier, Land, Nichols and Patock will take next weekend off while three Bronco pairs will compete at the Relentless Collegiate Challenge in Huntington, Calif. The two-day event will begin Oct. 29.
