The world’s largest beach volleyball tournament is happening right now in Seaside, Oregon. We are not there this year. Today’s photo is from last year.

Several teams made up of SOU alum (Holgen / Yomtob, Friar / Goudarzian, etc.) are in this year’s tournament. You can follow along here.

Sarah Holgen and Lauren Swetland block for SOU's women's volleyball team against Eastern Oregon

After defeating College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon University at home, the Southern Oregon volleyball team did it again to those same two teams on the road to win the Cascade Collegiate Conference championship tournament and move into the NAIA National Championships. They will be playing to win it all in Iowa later this month.

Let's see now, where were we? Oh yeah, the deciding match goes to 15, but you have to win by 2 points. The Coyotes made it to 15 first, but the Raiders tied it up once again.

16-16 score, games tied at 2 wins each

Angela Spieker saved this one with a diving effort

Things couldn’t have become, or stayed, any closer. This was some serious, nail-biting action.

Haley Fikso makes it 18-17 with this kill.

19-17 final score in 5th set

Everyone goes wild with the SOU, upset victory
