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.

Seniors at the 2016 Raider Awards

@SOURaiders @RaiderVB @SOUWomensSoccer @SOU_Football @THE_Grant_Torg @Chloe_Welch7

Last night was the fourth annual Raider Awards (AKA 2016 Black and Red All-Sports Awards) on the SOU campus. Always a fun event, it’s kind of sad to see the seniors go. Most of them will be walking this Saturday at 2016 Commencement.

2016 Rogue Valley Volleyball Club 18 Team

After narrowly missing out on qualifying for Nationals at the NCVA 2016 Golden State National Qualifier (RVC 18 lost only once to the eventual tournament champion), the RVC 18 Team comes into the larger Reno tournament as the #38 seed out of over 110 teams. The rankings will change rapidly and aren’t very reflective at this point as RVC 18 has beaten multiple times several teams that are higher ranked at the outset.

RVC 18 won their first contest of the tournament 25-11, 25-7.

Day one is in the books for the NCVA 2016 Golden State National Qualifier, and the 18U Rogue Valley Volleyball Club went 3-0, improving their ranking from #19 to #2. A good day on Saturday will put them in the Gold Bracket on Sunday with a shot at nationals.
