Sandy Panthers Primed to Open Sun Belt Action and Face Top-20 Foes

ATLANTA— The No. 16 ranked Georgia State beach volleyball team (2-2) travels to Tallahassee, Fla., this weekend for the Seminole Beach Bash. The dual match tournament hosted by Florida State on March 2-3 will mark the second tournament outing of the spring for head coach Beth Van Fleet and the Sandy Panthers.

GSU is coming off an exciting opening weekend in Tampa, Fla., that saw the team matchup against three nationally ranked opponents. After falling to No. 11 FAU and No. 18 Arizona State, the Sandy Panthers posted back-to-back wins over host Tampa and No. 17 South Carolina. Newcomers Savannah Ebarb and Aree Keller made an immediate impact for the blue and white. Ebarb partnered with Destiny White, garnering three wins over the weekend. Keller and partner Lila Bordis found the dual clinching point in both GSU victories last weekend. 

GSU opens the weekend in the Sunshine State on Saturday, March 2 with a dual match against Stetson at 12:00 p.m. ET. The Sandy Panthers will follow the opener with a matchup against host Florida State at 2:30 p.m.

The team returns for the second day of tournament competition on Sunday with a 9:00 a.m. outing against ULM, marking the first Sun Belt contest of the young season. GSU will close the weekend with a matchup against Tampa at 12:45 p.m.
