Dear Readers~


On Wednesday, March 13, 2019 TCU traveled to Zuma Beach in Malibu, California to play in the Waves Invite, hosted by the Pepperdine Waves in partnership with Platform 1440. Some of the other teams include Cal Poly and LMU. This tournament has 3 teams from California, them being Pepperdine, Cal Poly, and LMU, along with 1 team from Texas, that being TCU. At 11 am Pacific Time the game between TCU and Pepperdine started. This game was the first game of the day. Now it's time to see how the teams did.

The first game to finish was between the 3's. That includes Skylar Caputo and Alexis Filippone, for Pepperdine, taking on Molly Scheel and Taylor Bradley, for TCU. The first set ended 21-17 with Skylar and Alexis taking the first set. The second set ended at 21-17 as well with Skylar and Alexis taking that set as well and making the overall score 1-0 and Pepperdine having a 1 game lead over TCU.

The second game to finish was between the 2's That includes Heidi Dyer and Gigi Hernandez, for Pepperdine, against Haven Hill and Mandi Orellana, for TCU. The first set ended 21-11 in favor of Heidi and Gigi . The second set was the closest between the two games. The set ended at 22-20 in favor of Heidi and Gigi. That now puts the overall score at 2-0 with Pepperdine winning.

The third game to finish was between the 1's. That includes Brook Bauer and Deahna Kraft, for Pepperdine, against Jaelyn Green and Victoria McDonald, for TCU. The first set was 21-12 with Brook and Deahna winning that set. The second set ended 21-17 with Brook and Deahna taking the second set as well. The overall score is now at 3-0 with Pepperdine winning all 3 games so far.

The fourth game to finish was between the 4's. Those include Nikki Lyons and Maddie Dilfer, for Pepperdine, along with Claire Doyle and Jordan Westendorff, for TCU. The first set ended 21-17 for Claire and Jordan. The second set ended 21-15 for Nikki and Maddie, as well as causing a third set. That third set ended 15-10 in favor of Nikki and Maddie. That now gives Pepperdine a 4-0 lead over TCU with only 1 game left.

The last game between the two teams was the 5's. That includes Simone Priebe and Katie Gavin, for Pepperdine, against Avery Arellano and Hailey Brockett, for TCU. The first set ended 21-17 with Hailey and Avery winning that set. The second set ended 21-11 with Simone and Katie winning for Pepperdine and causing a third set. That third set ended 15-10 with Simone and Katie winning for Pepperdine. That made the final score between the two teams Pepperdine winning all 5 games against TCU.

TCU's next game is on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 11:30 am Central Time as they take on UNC Wilmington as part of the Islanders Beach Volleyball Classic in Corpus Christi, Texas. Pepperdine's next game is on Saturday, March 16, 2019 as they travel to Los Angeles to play against UCLA at 10 am Pacific Time. It's just a normal game not a tournament like TCU has.

As many of you know, Corinne Quiggle went to Pepperdine but what you may not know is that there was a different female AVP player that went to TCU. Her name is Irene Pollock. You may have heard of her because she helps coach UCLA beach's team for the 2019 season. Irene doesn't have any videos with Riley or Maddison Mckibbin but she does have a video on YouTube about mental toughness that I'll link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTYX5sAU3pc and don't forget to follow her on Instagram: @irenepollock

Just like how Irene hasn't done any videos with Riley or Maddison, Corinne still has yet to do a video with those boys. A video I'll be linking down below is a video Corinne did on her hidden talent. Here's the link if you'd like to find out what she plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTEYfCOL1sQ and don't forget to follow her on Instagram for more fun stuff: @corinnequiggle

That concludes the game between TCU and Pepperdine. Don't forget that the first AVP tournament is in 50 days from May 3-5, 2019 in Huntington Beach, California. If you prefer to watch indoor volleyball, May 2-4, 2019 has the NCAA national championships being held in Long Beach, California by Long Beach State. If you live on the east coast and don't want to travel to California, May 3-5, 2019 also has the NCAA beach volleyball national championships in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Until next time, Miller out
