​   Gulf Shores, Ala. – The LSU Beach Volleyball fell to No. 6 Cal Poly in a hard-fought battle to close out the 2025 season.
   All courts but Court 1 went into extra points in the first set. Emily Meyer and Skylar Martin lost Court 4; 22-20 and 14-21, while Kate Baker and Tatum Finlason lost Court 5; 24-26 and 10-21, to give Cal Poly a 2-0 lead in the duel. Elle Evers and Julia Sprecher fought but ultimately fell short, losing Court 3; 22-24 and 19-21. Gabi Bailey and Parker Bracken on Court 1 and Aubrey O’Gorman and Camryn Chatellier did not complete their matches due to the duel being played to decision.

   “It’s not possible to put into words the combination of how proud I am and how tough it is to be done,” said head coach Russell Brock. “We knew this would be a really challenging match, but to lose in such an amazingly close manner makes it sting a little more. We played great and played well enough to win, but it just didn’t go our way. So many of the things that were in our control we executed amazingly. The season as a whole was one of the most gratifying ones I’ve been a part of. From where we started to where we finished, the team is almost unrecognizable. It will be impossible to replace our seniors, Gabi, Parker, Emily, Madison, and Cassidy. I’m so grateful for how they have influenced our program. While we will miss them, their leadership and the remarkable example they set, it’s impossible not to recognize how capable our young returning players on our roster are. I’m so proud of our whole team and staff for the season we had. I’m also excited about the future of our program.”

   BATON ROUGE – The LSU Beach Volleyball team fell to No. 8 FSU Saturday morning in the CCSA Championships Semi-Final match, 3-0.
   “Really proud of our group,” said head coach Russell Brock. “We’ve come so far this season. From our first weekend until now, the growth is phenomenal. Obviously, we would have preferred to finish this weekend with a win, but that didn’t happen. We battled in every match and just couldn’t quite come up with the points we needed to pull off the team wins.”

Tatum Finlason and Kate Baker fell on Court 4; 12-21 and 16-21, while Aubrey O’Gorman and Camryn Chatellier fell on Court 2; 17-21 and 17-21. Elle Evers and Julia Sprecher fell on Court 3 to finish out the match; 19-21 and 15-21. Due to matches being played to decision, Gabi Bailey and Parker Bracken on Court 1, along with Emily Meyer and Skylar Martin on Court 5, did not complete their matches.

The pair won Court 5 in straight sets; 24-22 and 21-15. In round 2 the Sandy Tigs faced South Carolina. Meyer and Martin won Court 5; 21-19 and 21-19.

This season across the country has been unpredictable and really competitive. I expect this tournament to have some incredibly exciting matchups as well. Having VBTV here again is incredible. Their presence always is always a unique and special addition.”

      TALLAHASSEE, FL – The No. 10 LSU Beach Volleyball team went 2-1 on Friday with wins over No. 15 Florida Atlantic and South Florida in Tallahassee, Florida.
   
   The Sandy Tigs will compete in two matches to close out the weekend on Saturday, starting at 9:15 AM CT against No. 8 Texas and then against South Carolina at 11:45 AM CT. The Sandy Tigs are back at home next weekend, April 11-12, for the final regular season tournament for the 2025 season.
   
   ‘Today was a long day with strong competition,” said head coach Russell Brock. “I’m proud of how we played as a team. There were plenty of distractions heading into today and the team did a really good job of blocking out the challenges off the court and playing really solid volleyball. We did what we needed to do today to keep moving forward and building our resume. Two more big matches tomorrow are waiting for us. I’m looking forward to seeing how we respond after a long, hot day today.’
   
   LSU started out the day with a 4-1 win over South Florida. Due to South Florida not being eligible to compete for a national championship in 2025, the game is considered an exhibition match and does not count towards LSU’s record. Aubrey O’Gorman and Julia Sprecher got things started for the Sandy Tigs, winning Court 3; 21-14 and 21-11. Emily Meyer and Skylar Martin followed in their footsteps, winning Court 5 in dominant fashion; 21-15 and 21-13. Gabi Bailey and Parker Bracken clinched the match for the Tigers, winning Court 1; 21-19 and 21-16. Tatum Finlason and Kate Baker fell on Court 4; 15-21, 21-17 and 11-15, while Elle Evers and Camryn Chatellier finished out the match, winning Court 2; 17-21, 21-19, and 15-7.
   
   After a break, the Sandy Tigs came out with an AVCA Top 20 win against No. 15 Florida Atlantic, 3-2. Finlason and Baker put up point number one for LSU dominating Court 4; 21-9 and 21-13. Evers and Chatellier fell on Court 2; 22-20 and 22-20, to even up the match at one point apiece. O’Gorman and Sprecher took the lead back for the Tigers, winning Court 3; 27-25 and 21-17. Meyer and Martin battled it out in three sets on Court 5 to clinch the match for the Sandy Tigs; 21-10, 19-21, and 15-12. Bailey and Bracken fell on Court 1; 22-20, 19-21 and 21-15, to give the FAU Owls their second point of the match.
   
   For the final match of the day, LSU faced No. 5 FSU in an AVCA Top 10 matchup and fell just short against the Seminoles. Meyer and Martin took care of business to have LSU strike first, winning Court 5; 21-17 and 21-13. Evers and Chatellier fell on Court 2; 21-18 and 21-11, while Bailey and Bracken fell on Court 1; 21-12 and 21-15, to give FSU a 2-1 lead. O’Gorman and Sprecher battled on Court 3 to tie up the match at two points apiece; 21-18, 16-21, and 15-13. With the match coming down to Court 4; Finlason and Baker fought in three sets but ultimately fell short; 19-21, 21-19, and 10-15 .

   BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU track and field team closed out the Battle on the Bayou at home on Saturday, hosted at the Bernie Moore Track & Field Stadium. The end half of the meet was eventually canceled due to the weather.Final Results
   
   One of the biggest moments from Saturday’s action came from freshman Jelani Watkins in heat two of the 100 meter. The race marked his collegiate opener in the event and he made his way to a time of 10.01 seconds (+2.1 m/s), just over the wind-legal limit of 2.0 m/s. Watkins finished taking second next to the World-Championship competitor Eddie Nketia by just .004 of a second. The time tied him with Nketia for the national lead and makes him the sole leader of the SEC.
   
   The meet finished early due to inclement weather, but it only took Jevan Parara one throw to leave his mark at the meet. Parara tossed the No. 8 mark in LSU performance-list history of 56.13 meters (184’ 2”) on his first and only attempt. Freshman Chad Hendricks took second behind him, also only getting one throw due to the weather, reaching the distance of 55.06 meters (180’ 7”).
Sophomore Leah Acosta had an injury scare last season that left her unable to walk and required screws in her ankle. Today she made her collegiate debut in disc throw and was able to crack the LSU Top-10 list in it. Acosta reached a mark of 51.88 meters (170’ 2”) on her fifth toss of the afternoon, putting her at No. 9 in LSU history. She also recorded a PR of 14.60 meters (47’ 10.75” in shot put, which was just short of the LSU PL.

   Taylor Fingers leaped out to a win today in her triple-jump opener. The sophomore reached a distance of 13.04 meters (42’ 9.5”) to earn the win, but the mark was over the allowable wind limit of +4.0 m/s. Her top legal mark on the day came in at 12.68 meters (41’ 7.25”).

   The men’s high jump was one of the few events going on when the meet eventually was canceled due to the weather, but the event was moved inside to close the meet. Freshman Kam Franklin reached a personal-best height of 2.17 meters (7’ 1.25”) to finish third in his opener. Franklin’s height puts him at No. 8 on the all-time LSU PL outdoors.

   BATON ROUGE – The No. 11 LSU Beach Volleyball team went 2-1 on Friday with wins over No. 4 USC and No. 9 Long Beach State at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium.The Sandy Tigs will compete in one match to close out the weekend on Saturday, starting at 10:30 AM CT against No. 5 Stanford. The Sandy Tigs are back on the road next weekend to Tallahassee, Florida for the Unconquered Invitational.
   
   “Today is a day that our team grew up a little bit,” said head coach Russell Brock. “You couldn’t have had a longer day of competition and there wasn’t any break in the programs we had to play against today. To play three top teams that the rest of the country assumed were better than us by a pretty significant margin and to come out with two wins and push the match with the number one team in the country to the very edge of victory, I couldn’t be prouder of this group. Obviously, we still have another match to play tomorrow against another really good team, so there’s still work left to do, but I can’t wait to see how we respond to another matchup against one of the top teams in the country. This team is special. I love working with them.”
   
   LSU started out the day with a 3-2 reverse sweep win against No. 4 USC. Aubrey O’Gorman and Julia Sprecher lost Court 2; 8-21 and 17-21, while Elle Evers and Camryn Chatellier fell on Court 3; 14-21 and 17-21, to give the Trojans a 2-0 lead.

Gabi Bailey and Parker Bracken evened up the match, winning Court 1; 21-16, 18-21, and 15-13. Tatum Finlason and Kate Baker clinched the match for the Tigers winning Court 4 in extra points; 21-19, 27-29, and 21-19.
   
   After a break, the Sandy Tigs faced No. 1 UCLA and fell short, 3-2. Meyer and Baker fell on Court 5; 16-21 and 20-22, while O’Gorman and Sprecher lost on Court 2; 18-21 and 13-21, to give UCLA a 2-0 lead in the dual.

   “Really proud of our group this weekend,” said head coach Russell Brock. “We were challenged every time we stepped in the sand. Today we definitely made progress. Winning is always an inevitable measure in athletics. It would have been great to have more wins, but we finished on a great note and thankfully we have many more chances to not only improve but also to get some more big wins as we work through our season.”

   LSU began the day with a 0-5 loss against No. 7 California, where three courts lost in straight sets while two battled it out in three. In the first wave, Aubrey O’Gorman and Julia Sprecher lost Court 2; 18-21 and 13-21.

Tatum Finlason and Camryn Chatellier rounded out the match with a three-set battle that ultimately went in California’s favor; 22-20, 16-21 and 10-15.

   After a break, LSU faced No. 18 Hawaii and won the match three courts to one in a game that came down to a deciding court. Evers and Martin got the first point on the board for the Sandy Tigs on Court 4; 21-18 and 21-16 while O’Gorman and Sprecher lost Court 2 in three sets; 20-22, 24-22 and 8-15, to even the match at 1-1.

   MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIF. – The No. 11 LSU Beach Volleyball team went 0-2 on day one of the East Meets West Invitational, falling to No. 1 UCLA and No. 2 LMU.
   
   The Sandy Tigs will compete in two matches on Saturday, starting at 10:30 AM CT against No. 7 California, then closing out the weekend against No. 18 Hawaii at 2:30 PM. After the weekend, the Tigers are on the road for the third weekend in a row to Austin, Texas for the East Meets West tournament, March 21-22.
   
   “Today was a great test,” said head coach Russell Brock. “The first match was definitely a challenge. You could tell that we were a little timid, not quite as aggressive as we should be. We had a great conversation afterwards and talked about how when you play good teams, you have to trust your game and continue to play as an aggressor. I was really happy with the response in the second match. I thought we played that way and the results showed. Anytime we play, we expect a win, and hope to get a win. We didn’t get one today, but there’s no doubt that we improved. Looking forward to tomorrow and the challenges that it brings.”

   “Today was really impressive,” said head coach Russell Brock. “To win every match we got to complete in the conditions we played in today was a great test. I’m so impressed with this group. Really to only have the one injury loss, and we were up in that match, over the whole weekend is a fantastic showing.”
   
   LSU began the day with a 4-1 win over Stephen F. Austin in their morning match to start the day off 1-0. LSU forfeited the match on Court 5 due to injury to make the dual score 0-1 in SFA’s favor.

​   BATON ROUGE – The No. 10 LSU Beach Volleyball went 5-0 at the Tiger Beach Challenge this past weekend. Senior Emily Meyer and freshman Camryn Chatellier are both on a 10-game win streak individually.The Sandy Tigs are back on the road next weekend to Monroe, Louisiana for the ULM Bayou Bash, March 7-8. LSU will play four matches over the course of two days and face both ULM and Stephen F. Austin twice.
   “This weekend was really solid,” said head coach Russell Brock. “We knew coming in that we wanted to look at some lineup variations and we’d also have plenty of extra matchups to allow people the chance to make a statement about their play and the strength of particular pairs. I thought the team did a great job of competing, working hard, and ultimately coming out with five team wins. Finishing the weekend 5-0 was a big goal and to do that against some competitive teams was important for our season. There’s no doubt that we are better right now than we were last week. This week will be a big chance to work on more details we are uncovering as we play. Excited that we don’t have school for the next couple days and the chance to really dive into preparation.”

   BATON ROUGE, La. – Senior Gaby Rivera sealed the victory with a 6-1, 7-6(2) result on Court No. 6, propelling No. 10 LSU to a 4-2 win over Kentucky on Friday evening at the LSU Tennis Complex in Baton Rouge, La.LSU improves to 10-1 and 2-0 in SEC play. Meanwhile, Kentucky drops to 6-4 and 0-2 in the conference.
   
   “Today was a hard-fought win, and the girls deserved the result,” said Head Coach Taylor Fogleman. “It is always great to get a win in conference play. However, there are areas of improvement to strengthen before our next match. I thought Kentucky performed very well today. Head Coach Shelly Jaudon has done a great job leading this program; their team tested us today. The ladies will rest and return to work tomorrow before hosting a doubleheader on Sunday, which includes a top team in the country, No. 7 Tennessee.
   
   The No. 22 duo of Anita Sahdiieva and Tilwith Di Girolami opened doubles play on the top spot over Elizabeth Stevens and Ellie Eades. The LSU duo jumped to a quick 4-0 lead before Kentucky got on the board at 4-1. Sahdiieva and Di Girolami responded with back-to-back games to seal the win at 6-1. On the season, the pair improved to 8-1 overall and 2-0 on the top doubles court.

   On Court No. 2, Kenna Erickson and Gaby Rivera battled against Julia Zhu and Asuncion Jadue in a back-and-forth matchup. The Tiger pair grabbed an early 1-0 lead before Kentucky pulled ahead at 2-1. Erickson and Rivera responded to tie it at 2-2, but the Wildcats regained the advantage at 3-2. The Tigers found their rhythm from there, taking the last four matches to win 6-3, awarding LSU the doubles point.

   No. 72 Di Girolami kicked off singles play against her doubles foe and Kentucky’s singles ace, Stevens, on the No. 2 spot. The freshman started well, racing to a 3-0 lead before Stevens took a game. The Tiger extended her advantage, but Stevens cut the deficit to 4-2. However, the Belgian native took the final two games, closing out the first set with a 6-2 win. Di Girolami shifted the momentum in her favor after a 1-1 start in the second set, stringing together three consecutive games for a 4-1 advantage. Stevens managed to trim the lead to 4-2, but Di Girolami sealed the straight-set victory at 6-2 to bolster her singles record to 8-2 on the campaign. The result gave LSU a 2-0 match lead.

   Cadence Brace faced off against Zoe Hammond on the top court. Brace built a 3-0 lead in the first set before Hammond made it 3-1. The freshman took the final three of four games to close the opening set with a 6-2 win. In the second set, Brace left no doubt on the match, shutting the door with a 6-0 sweep to secure the win and giving LSU a 3-0 match lead. The Canadian native now holds a three-match singles winning streak on the season.

   Erickson fought hard against Tess Bucher on the fifth spot but came up short in straight sets. After an early 3-1 lead in the first set, Erickson saw Bucher rally to even the score at 4-4 before dropping the set 6-4. In the second, Bucher took control early, and despite Erickson closing the gap to 3-2, the Wildcat pulled away for a 6-2 win, giving Kentucky a point on the board.

   Sahdiieva was up next in singles and took on No. 59 Zhu on the No. 3 court. After a back-and-forth start in the first set, Sahdiieva held a 3-2 lead before Zhu took control, winning four straight games to take the set 6-3. In the second, Sahdiieva briefly leveled the score at 1-1, but Zhu pulled away, closing the match with a 6-2 victory, making the match score 3-2 in favor of LSU.

   With all eyes on the sixth court, No. 121 Rivera battled with Ellie Myers. After dropping the opening game, Rivera delivered a great performance, winning six straight games to take the first set 6-1. The second set was a battle, with Rivera trailing 1-3 before rallying to tie it at 3-3. The senior jumped ahead 4-3, but Myers kept it close, forcing a 6-6 tiebreak. Rivera dominated the seven-point tie-breaker at 7-2 to clinch the set victory and seal LSU’s 4-2 win.
