CORBAN BOX SCORE | SACRAMENTO STATE BOX SCORE

SALEM, Ore.  –The Bushnell beach volleyball season resumed on Friday with a pair of duels taking place at Corban University. The Beacons fell by 5-0 final scores to both NAIA No. 4-ranked Corban as well as NCAA Division I Sacramento State, but had plenty of close calls.
 
In the morning session against Corban both the No. 1 pair of Halle Neumann and Kate Palelek and the No. 4 pair of Sydney Myhre and Laci Jespersen (pictured) won their first set before eventually falling in three.
 
The afternoon dual against the Hornets featured a number of close scores among the top four pairs while No. 5 Roslyn McLellan/Mai Tomlin went three sets before falling 21-12, 12-21, 15-10.
 
Head Coach Kim Elgarico said, "Even though we didn't get the outcome we had hoped for today,  I am proud of how everyone stepped up and forced some great teams to earn every point. We learned a lot and will definitely be better for it. We are very excited for Portland tomorrow."
 
The Beacons (2-5) remain in Salem for a neutral-site match against the University of Portland on Saturday at 12:00 pm. It will be the first of three matches with the Pilots for Bushnell this season. Last year the Beacons knocked off the Pilots for their first-ever win against an NCAA Division I program.
