TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona beach volleyball will continue its fall exhibition season this weekend in Phoenix. The Wildcats will play in a pair of events with varying formats this Saturday, Oct. 26 and Sunday, Oct. 27.
The Wildcats will face Pepperdine, Arizona State and Grand Canyon twice each this weekend. Saturday's scrimmages will take place at the Pera Club in Tempe, Arizona while Sunday's action will be at Grand Canyon University. The full schedules of this weekend's events is listed below.
This will be a homecoming for three Wildcats, Lauren Orlich,
Olivia Hallaran and Alana Rennie who are all from the Phoenix area.
Arizona began its fall season last weekend at the Collegiate Challenge in Hungington Beach, California.
"Coming out of last weekend's event, it was clear we have a number of areas of the game we have to improve on," said Arizona head coach
Steve Walker. "To the group's credit though, we have addressed those and really got working on them with good focus this week in practice. Looking forward to this weekend, much like last week we will have the same set of objectives: which is to play better and more efficiently than we did previously, look to play a number of lineup combinations and assess exactly where we are with our play after the final point drops."
