The VC beach volleyball team is in th midst of another marvelous May by advancing to the 3C2A State Tournament and by sending two duos to the 3C2A State Pairs Tournament at West Valley College. The Pirates No. 2 team of Kylie Ibbotson and Alba Romanos Gracia came into the Southern California Regionals as the No. 20 seed in the 32-team draw at El Camino College, but far exceeded those expectations. They swept the No. 13 seed and the host school's No. 2 team 23-21, 21-18 their first match to secure their state berth before defeating the No. 4-seed, Irvine Valley's top pair, 21-15, 21-19, to move into the quarterfinals. After allowing teammates and VC's No. 1 pair to move to the semifinals, Ibbotson and Romanos Gracia pushed the tournament's top seeded pair from El Camino in their three-set loss, 14-21, 21-12, 14-10. After the match, without much difference between a seventh and eighth place finish, the Pirates bowed out against Long Beach to prepare for the state team finals coming up this week.
