BIRMINGHAM β The UAB beach volleyball team split two games on Saturday at the Wheeler Beach Bash with a 5-0 win over Austin Peay and a narrow 3-2 loss at South Carolina in Columbia, S.C.
Β
The Blazers (4-3) breezed past Austin Peay with a straight set sweep for its third-straight 5-0 win and in the process registered the program's 150th victory.
Β
UAB then almost sprung the upset over South Carolina, but lost closely contested matches on courts two, three and four to fall 3-2.
Β
Against the Gamecocks, Addison Atkins and Ashley Torsone registered their fourth-straight win with a 21-14, 22-20 victory on Court 5 to help the Blazers tie the match at 1-1 after the first flight of action.
Β
As the match moved to courts 1-3, Isabel Day and Claudia Stockard fell on Court 2 by a combined four points (22-20, 21-19), while Klea Sirois and Olivia Chychrun almost forced a third set on Court 3, but ultimately fell in straight sets, 21-14, 26-24.
Β
UAB's Court 1 pair of Olivia Stant and Jasmine Haas ran their winning streak to six straight with a 21-17, 24-22 on the top court, but SC had already secured three courts for the team win.
Β
After dropping their first match of the season, Stant and Haas have reeled off six straight wins and have a team-best record of 6-1 this season.
Β
The Blazers host The March To May next weekend for their home opener at Blazer Beach on March 7-8. UAB opens the tournament on Friday, March 7 at 11:30 against Houston Christian, and will also play EKU (Friday, 3 p.m.), North Alabama (Saturday, 12 p.m.) and New Orleans (Saturday, 4 p.m.)
