With a Southern California beach girl on the team, Delaware gave top-seeded Loyola Marymount a tough battle before the taller Lions prevailed, 21-16, 21-19, in the CBS College Beach Volleyball Championship at West Beach on Sunday. The 12-team tournament was held in conjunction with the AVP Nivea Santa Barbara Open. Emily Day, 6-1, and Heather Hughes, 6-2, used their height advantage and steady play to defeat a tough Collee Walsh and Stephanie Berry team from Delaware. The LMU pair lost just one game in the two-day tournament, and that came against Delaware in the quarterfinals.We played them two other times in the tournament and every time we played they continued to get better and better, so we knew it was going to be a close one,” said the Day. |
