STOCKTON, Calif.- The Pacific beach volleyball team travels to Santa Cruz for a two-day midseason tournament featuring conference foes at the pier's Main Beach on Friday, March 29 through Saturday, March 30.
 
Based on draws, the single elimination tournament begins with LMU on Friday morning before diverging into finals and consolation brackets based on outcomes. The event features all seven WCC teams and provides the Tigers ample opportunity to grab their first conference win of the season.
 
Format resembles much like a year ago, with Pacific in the first pool alongside LMU, Saint Mary's and San Francisco. Pepperdine, Portland and Santa Clara make up the second group. The winner of Pacific's match with LMU will face the winner of Saint Mary's and San Francisco, while the loser of match one will face the loser of match two. The top two finishers out of both sides meet in the finals bracket while the rest move to the consolation bracket.
 
The Tigers are led behind sophomore Josephine Kinlan and junior Ashley Davies, who have accrued three pairs two wins so far this season. The duo last grabbed a win over Santa Clara during a trip to San Luis Obispo, coming from behind to grab the victory in three sets. 
 
Also with recorded wins on the year are Pacific's ones and fours pairs. Senior Camdyn Albrecht and sophomore Kelea Saxton Vaka notched a win over CSU Bakersfield, while graduate student Jadyn Tubbs and senior Miranda Baptista recorded a win over Sacramento State. Senior Juliana Alexander and freshman Mia Rossman grabbed a win at home over San Jose State.
 
Saturday's finals begin at 9 a.m. with the remaining matches starting on the hour through 3 p.m.
