The UCLA Beach Volleyball team has been one of the most dominant in the young history of NCAA Beach Volleyball. Three of its four decorated seniors – Jaden Whitmarsh, Devon Newberry, Lexy Denaburg – came on SANDCAST to chat about the last dance for this group, and how much winning the elusive NCAA Championship would mean, especially in a transition year with a new head coach in Jenny Johnson Jordan. We covered a wide variety of topics, including:
What the program is like under Johnson Jordan in her first year as head coach, replacing Stein Metzger
Why the word “special” continued to come up in conversation when talking about the 2024 team
Why Whitmarsh, a sixth-year, decided to return for one final ride
The lessons you can learn from coming one win shy of an NCAA Championship

And so much more!
