The University of Washington Sand volleyball team continues their winning ways as they sweep the Oregon Ducks. Then Huskies went 5-0 against the Ducks last Saturday, extending their winning streak to 5 games.

Huskies Head coach Keegan Cook said that they have concentrated in setting the ball and in  transition attacking.

“Setting is a big deal in beach volleyball, putting yourself in good position to attack,” Cook said. “That was one of our primary competitive goals this year and we did that.”

Courtney Schwan and sophomore Bailey Tanner help the team take the first set 21-12. Then they were able to establish a 4-0 run to win the 2nd set 21-14. In the 3rd set it was Justice Magraw and Melanie Wade who made the big plays with a 21-11, 21-16 win. Justice Magraw and Melanie Wade followed up by helping the team win the 3rd and 4th set 21-11, 21-16 respectively.

Next weekend Huskies will end their season in California for a doubleheader Saturday, St. Mary’s at 9 a.m. before a noon match-up against California. Then on Sunday they will be in the Stanford Invitational.
