The Hawaii beach volleyball duo of Ari Homayun and Julia Scoles today was named the Big West Pairs Team of the Week, the second honor in three weeks.
Homayun-Scoles went 4-0 playing at Flight 3 in last weekend’s East Meets West Challenge, twice earning the deciding points in victories over Florida International and TCU. All four wins came over ranked opponents: No 4 Florida State, No. 6 LSU, No. 9 Florida International and No. 19 TCU.
All four of their wins came over ranked opponents including three top 10 teams in No 4 Florida State, No. 6 LSU, and No. 9 Florida International. The SandBows’ No. 3 pair scored the clinching point in wins over No. 19 TCU and No. 9 FIU.
The duo owns a team-best record of 7-1 on the season, with its lone loss coming against the No. 3 pair of top-ranked UCLA.
