THE RUNDOWN
STOCKTON, Calif. - The University of San Francisco beach volleyball team were swept by Pacific on Saturday morning. The Dons (2-8) struggled against the Tigers (6-7), unable to find a single flight win in the dual.

The loss brings the Dons to 0-2 on the weekend after being downed by SJSU, 2-3, Friday afternoon. Two pairs of Dons were able to force deciding sets, including 1's of Julia Topor and Anna Dalla Vecchia and 3's of Camille Araujo and Erica Ronda. Araujo and Ronda were one of two pairs who picked up flight wins for USF yesterday against the Spartans.

THOUGHTS FROM FRANCISCO
Head coach Frank Lavrisha: "It was a tough day for the Dons. Pacific outplayed us, kudos to a solid team. We had flashes of great play, but we couldn't sustain it for a match. This is a good lesson day."
