The Wolf Pack’s beach volleyball team is off to a great start with winning performance from returner Kiarelis Martinez and newcomer Isabella Rodrigue.
The duo took down the top 10 ranked Mobile Rams in a double-header at Coconut Beach in Kenner, Louisiana, finishing their conference record at 2-0. In their match against the Mobile Rams, sophomore Martinez, and freshman Rodrigue obtained a three-set victory over the Rams, scoring 21-17, 20-22, and 15-11. The duo was ecstatic about the win and are looking to continue to turn heads.
“It’s not usual for two defenders to play together, but we both have great ball control and we wanted to win,” Martinez said. “Our coach Robert Pitre and our team believed in us every second, which helped us a lot too. It was an interesting match with a lot of hustle and trust in our hard work during practices and pre-season.”
“I believe Kia and I both knew we had to do whatever it took to get a win under our belt for that game,” Rodrigue said. “Both of us had great ball control and defense that day and I believe that really helped us to win the game.”
Martinez and Rodrigue displayed skill and determination against the Mobile Rams. The duo’s success serves as a testament to their hard work and commitment to excellence under the guidance of Pitre.
