Loreen, Robinson Win Twice But Dawgs Fall Short
March 26, 2022 | Beach Volleyball
TUCSON, Ariz. β Washington's top pair of Natalie Robinson and Chloe Loreen continued to thrive with two more three-set wins, but the Huskies came up short in the team win column on the first day of action at the Pac-12 South Invitational. The Huskies dropped their opener to No. 17 Arizona, 4-1, then lost a tight one to Oregon, 3-2, at Arizona's Bear Down Beach.
Β
Robinson and Loreen led the way once again at the top of the lineup. Against Arizona, they came back from a first set loss to outlast Parkhurst and Rennie, 15-21, 21-14, 16-14. In the match with the Ducks, the Huskies easily took set one, 21-12, but Nuneviller/Hope saved a match point to win the second set, 26-24. But the Huskies answered with 15-10 win in the third.
Β
Loreen and Robinson are now 7-3 on the season. Robinson now has 34 career wins and Loreen is at 33, which puts Robinson in fifth in school history, and Loreen is tied for sixth.
Β
Against the Wildcats, Ashley Shook and Olivia Mikkelsen took their match three sets but fell, 15-11, in the third. Shook and Mikkelsen came through next time out against the Ducks, beating Siegrist/Rothstein, 21-19, 21-14.
Β
Oregon had third set wins at the No. 3 and No. 4 matches to pull out the close win. At No. 3, Audra Wilmes and Maeve Griffin won the first, 21-18, over Wetton/Laita, but lost the second, 21-15, and set three, 15-10. Oregon clinched at four, where Emma Calle and Hannah Yerex lost the first set but dominated the second, 21-10. But Oregon's Schroeder and Tyus got the third, 15-11.
Β
The Huskies have two more tough matches on Sunday morning, starting at 8 a.m. against No. 11 California. Then UW faces No. 3 USC at 11:45 a.m. to finish up the trip.
