HOUSTON (Beach Volleyball) – For the third time in its inaugural season, Texas A&M University-Kingsville (8-8) puts its four-match win streak on the line versus Houston Baptist University (9-7) April 8 at Third Coast Volleyball Club. The HBU Beach Invitational continues at 3 p.m. with a bout versus #RV Tulane University (15-8) Friday and the invite comes to a close Saturday at 9 a.m. against the University of Central Arkansas (7-1).
 
LAST TIME OUT
The Javelinas have one home match remaining on their schedule and the new digs have proven to be true home field advantage for the Hogs as Texas A&M-Kingsville is 8-1 at home. TAMUK defeated Warner University 4-1, 5-0 and Lewis and Clark 5-0, 5-0 last week.
 
Morgan Broussard and Madi Brabham – Javelina co-Female Athletes of the Week – extended their win streak to 6 and are 6-2 overall. The duo is 5-0 in No. 3. Kat Evans and Kadi Shipman won four in a row at No. 4 and have seven total wins, as do Haley Hutchinson and Maelee Sowa. Lexi Wick and Kyra Henderson are 8-8 in No. 1.
 
LAST TIME THEY MET
A few weeks ago, Evans/Shipman nearly defeated Tiffany Thomas/Taylor Livoti, 17-21, 23-21, 15-12, and Hutchinson/Sowa were just points away from taking No. 5. Broussard/Brabham won No. 3, 22-20, 21-17, and the highlight was Broussard showing no regard with a wonderful play that proved to be the death of her sunglasses (L).
