SALEM, Ore. – The No. 6-ranked Corban University beach volleyball team wrapped up its spring regular-season schedule on a high note on Saturday afternoon, defeating Bushnell University (4-1) on a beautiful afternoon in the Willamette Valley.
Corban swept the season series against the Beacons with the triumph, recognizing its seniors—Makenna Campbell, Briana Ayala, Natalia Olabarrieta, Kaitlin Hunter, and Michelle Rosas—prior to the competition.
"It was a special day, honoring our seniors and coming out with another win," head coach Diana Villalpando stated.
