COACH NOELLE ROOKE SAID
"It's been a few weeks since we've played here so it was really great to get back on our home sand. We earned two victories today and I'm happy for the girls, but especially for our No. 1 team which has been working so hard to get back in the win column. Marymount did a good job serving as the wind kicked up this afternoon and we were forced to make some adjustments which we did while also executing our game plan."Â
UP NEXT
The Matadors host another tri-dual Friday as CSUN welcomes CSU Bakersfield and Concordia-Irvine to the Matador Beach Volleyball Complex. CSUN takes on the Roadrunners at 11 a.m. and the Eagles at 3 p.m.
