The Wayne State College beach volleyball team opened their spring break trip in Arizona Monday afternoon with a pair of wins over South Mountain Community College, defeating the Cougars 5-0 in the first match followed by a 4-1 victory in the second contest.  WSC is now 2-2 on the year while South Mountain is now 1-5.
            The Wildcats won the opening match 5-0 along with an exhibition match, but the Wildcats had to battle in all of the matches with five of the six contests going all three sets.  Brooke Peltz and Ally Beresford in the 5's pair recorded a sweep with all the other Wildcat victories coming by 2-1 scores including the exhibition match.
            The second match saw WSC post a 4-1 win over the Cougars to go with a 2-0 sweep in the exhibition match.  Three of Wayne State's four pairs' wins came via sweeps – Kelsie Cada/Jordan McCormick at 2's, Jaz DeHaan and Rachel Walker in the 4's pairs, Ally Beresford/Brooke Peltz in 5's and Maggie Brahmer and Peltz in the exhibition match by a 2-0 score.
            Wayne State is in action again Tuesday facing Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona at 11 a.m.
