COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Missouri State concluded its inaugural beach volleyball season Saturday in South Carolina with 5-0 losses to No. 19 Tulane and host and ninth-ranked South Carolina in the Palmetto Invitational at Wheeler Beach.

The Bears finish their first campaign with a 7-10 record, including a four-match winning streak during the team's spring break trip to California. MSU posted a 7-4 mark against teams ranked outside the AVCA Top 20 poll during the year.

"With this being our first year, I wanted to emphasize creating our own definition of success," said MSU head coach Terri Del Conte. "That definition included focusing on what we can control, competing, and developing great young women on and off the sand. We have had tremendous success this season and I am very happy to be a part of this Bear family."

Though MSU was unable to capture a set in the five regulation matches of either contest on Saturday, the Bears did post 36 total pairs wins on the year, led by Ivy Reynolds and Lynsey Wright's 9-8 record, with all but one match at the No. 5 spot. Missouri State's pairs of Sarah Demmer and Caroline Finnell, and Sam Brinkmann and Mikaela Mosquera each earned eight wins on the season.
