Beach Bears Snag One Win, Fall to Pair of Top 15 Foes

March 16, 2019

SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Missouri State wrapped up its 10-match beach volleyball trip to California at Ocean Park Beach on Saturday, falling by 5-0 scores to seventh-ranked Cal Poly and No. 13 Loyola Marymount, and defeating Concordia Irvine 4-1 to finish with a 6-4 record on the trip.

The Bears, now 6-8 overall, took three of their five pairs to three sets against the Mustangs from Cal Poly, but were unable to capitalize in any of the deciding sets.

Loyola Marymount won each match in straight sets on its home courts, and the Bears rebounded by winning at each of the Nos. 2-5 flights against Concordia. 

Against the Eagles, both the second pair of Kylee Davis and Kelsey Larsen, and the No. 5 team of Sarah Demmer and Bentley Mara, edged out 16-14 wins in the third set to grab a share of the team lead with seven victories on the year.

The Bears make their home debut next weekend with the inaugural MSU Beach Invitational. Missouri State plays Park at 4 p.m. March 22, Ottawa at 9 a.m. on March 23, and Missouri Baptist at 2 p.m. that same day.
