How many sand volleyball programs are there? The fact that Nebraska litterally started the program 3 months ago and is a preseason top 10 team nationally already just strikes me as extremely strange and makes me feel really bad for Stanford that we can do that to them.

16 started the program in 2012.

15 started the program in 2013.

2 more committed to start in 2014.

 

Just for more information: the preseason #1 - Pepperdine - includes Lara Dykstra (no antagonism, just information).

Season is underway:

 

Kelesy Robinson and Alexa Strange are the first team to win a Nebraska sand volleyball match in the history of the new Husker sport.

 

The Huskers played their first two duals of the season Thursday in Chula Vista, Calif. A pair of higher-ranked teams took down Nebraska. In the first dual, No. 4 Florida State beat Nebraska 4-1. In the second match, top-ranked Pepperdine swept the Huskers 5-0.

Against Florida State, the Huskers’ No. 1 team of Robinson and Strange rallied to beat Fatma Yildirim and Aurora Davis 19-21, 21-19, 15-7.

 

Congrats Kelesy & Alexa.
