[Women's Beach Volleyball] Westcliff Wins Qualifier, Moves on to NAIA Invitational

In a match befitting the enormous stakes on the line, top-seeded Westcliff edged #2 Corban 3-2 in Saturday's championship match of the 2022 Western Grouping Beach Volleyball NAIA Qualifying Tournament.  With the narrow victory, the Warriors advance to the NAIA Women's Beach Volleyball National Invitational, which will be held April 21-23 at Panama City Beach, Fla. WU, which had claimed the California Pacific Conference title after Friday's win over Saint Katherine, now becomes the first conference program to qualify for the NAIA tournament.  USK won the inaugural Cal Pac Beach Volleyball championship last May, but there was no national invitational due to the pandemic.
