South Carolina beach volleyball is on a four-game win streak as they head into a challenging weekend at the FGCU Inaugural Tournament in Fort Myers, Florida. The Gamecocks will face three ranked opponents, including No. 19 North Florida, No. 14 FIU, and No. 20 Stetson. In their last matches, South Carolina won both duals in a home doubleheader, defeating Austin Peay and UAB.
The team will be looking to continue their momentum against tough competition, with key players such as Jolie Cranford and Riley Whitesides leading the way. Despite facing turnover in the lineup, the Gamecocks have added transfers like Jordan Benoit and Juju Quintero from Pepperdine, Reagan Elizondo and Lauren Lawson from Grand Canyon, and Rachel Hartmann from Southeastern Louisiana to bolster their roster.
Head coach Moritz Moritz is inching closer to an important milestone as the team approaches their 200th win in program history. With a focus on building experience and cohesion among the players, the Gamecocks are determined to make a statement at the tournament. Fans can follow the team on social media for updates throughout the weekend. South Carolina has a strong history in beach volleyball, with two NCAA tournament appearances and two All-Americans in Katie Smith and Skylar Allen.
