The Central Wyoming College Beach Volleyball team participated in their season opening tournament in Denver, Colorado this past Thursday. They played three rounds and a total of 15 matches. For those who are unaware, in Beach Volleyball matches are made up of sets, typically three. Three-set matches are two sets to 21 points and a third set to 15 points. Each set must be won by two points. The first team to win two sets is the winner of the match.

It was a great day to compete, get adjusted to the sand and the team enjoyed every minute of it. The Rustlers ended the day with a positive record, up 8-7 overall. Laina Whitney and Student-Athlete of the week Rian Mckenzie paired up to win 2 matches and only suffer one loss on the day. 

 

Their next matches are with Colorado MESA University on March 8 in Grand Junction, Colorado, where they will play 2 rounds and 12 matches.
