The LSU sand volleyball team wrapped up the Blazer Beach Dual Tournament today in Birmingham, Alabama, defeating Spring Hill and the University of New Orleans, both by the score of 5-0.
The team won all four matches this weekend for the first time this season, a sign of progress as the team nears the middle of its schedule.
“Its a nice representation of all the hard work this team has put in.” coach Russell Brock said. “We’ve knew at the beginning our schedule was really difficult, but we kept pushing to get over .500 and now were turning the corner continuing to get better.”
The Tigers’ pairs won every set on Sunday, establishing a consistency the team has been looking for most of the season. 
“Today was the first day in a while that he had all of our pairs really play well” Brock said. “We swept every match that we won, had specific goals in a lot of our sets where we tried to execute the skills we’ve been working on.”
“We really wanted to target our serving” Brock said. “All week we’ve been working on that. We knew we had an opportunity to win more games if we corrected that and the results showed.”
The Tigers will travel to Tallahassee, Florida next weekend where they will battle Carson Newman and fourth ranked Florida State at the FSU Complex. The team will also participate in the Fiesta on Siesta Key at Siesta Key Public Beach.
Brock said the team has a good opportunity next weekend against Florida State, a team at the very top of the rankings, to see how much his team has actually improved throughout this season.
