SPOKANE, Wash. – Boise State beach volleyball's Ava Anderson and Addison Wolden won the Spokane AVCA Pairs Tournament in a thrilling, three-set championship match, Sunday. The victory earned Boise State a second bid to the AVCA National Pairs Championship on Nov. 15-17 in Huntsville, Alabama.

Avery Allen and Lily Patock were the standouts from the Open Division, finishing with an undefeated record of 6-0. Two Bronco pairs - Charlee Ellena and Elli Wolthuis and Anika Christensen and Charlee Ellena – finished the weekend 4-2.

Quotables
"It's huge for our program to get two bids to the AVCA National Pairs Tournament. It shows that we have so many people that are very talented on our team. We have a whole team that can play at a high-level and represent us and what we're all about." – head coach Allison Voigt


"It's cool to see how much the two of them [Ava Anderson and Addison Wolden] have improved so far in the fall. For them to fight to win this tournament was great to see. There were a lot of little things that we wanted them to get better at and they put it all together there at the end." - Voigt

"I saw us be very intentional about the things that we were working on in practice. We applied what we've been working on and were very disciplined. It was a very good showcase for us to start the season and I'm excited to continue to grow with this group." - Voigt
