The Best Atmosphere In College Beach Volleyball

On Februrary 29, 2020, 2,407 fans packed LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium to witness the No. 2 Tigers defeat the No. 1 UCLA Bruins in a top-two showdown, they set an all-time NCAA on-campus attendance record for college beach volleyball.

“I honestly couldn’t have ever dreamed of that,” said Coach Russell Brock. “The vision was – let’s build this thing, let’s build a good product and let’s fill it up. To have it packed out and have a match like that – I envisioned a lot of things with this program, but that was more than I could have possibly imagined.

“That’s an unbelievable home court advantage that does not exist, maybe anywhere else in the planet for beach volleyball – for sure for collegiate beach volleyball.”

The victory gave LSU two straight wins over No. 1 UCLA in as many weeks, propelling the Tigers to their first ever No. 1 ranking in the sport of beach volleyball after being a steady Top-10 team since 2017.

After going 13-0 during the inaugural year of LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium last season, the Tigers didn’t miss a

beat as they started their 2020 home schedule. They swept through the Tiger Beach Challenge over the weekend which include their victory over top-ranked UCLA.

It was standing room only on Saturday when the LSU faithful packed collegiate beach volleyball’s premier facility and stadium to witness a top-two showdown. The two-time defending national champion UCLA Bruins were ranked No. 1 and LSU was ranked No. 2. LSU and UCLA split a set of match to open the season two weekends ago in Hawaii, setting up a rubber-match in Baton Rouge.

Fans well versed in the sport of beach volleyball and fans that had never been to a match before packed in to create an electric atmosphere that helped the Tigers to a 3-2 victory over the Bruins, catapulting LSU to the top of the polls.

“When I look back and reflect on that evening, to have all of those people stacked and locked in and focused and cheering – a lot them for the first time experiencing what we do week in and week out – unbelievable,” said Brock. “It was such a fun environment,

such a fun atmosphere and one I will absolutely never forget.”

Saturday was also the largest media gathering to cover a home LSU Beach Volleyball match that included Baton Rouge’s three major news outlets.

“To look out on the court and look both directions and see packs of purple and gold, that was something special,” said senior Claire Coppola.

“And no standing room, I mean that is so cool and we feed off of that, so it was a perfect atmosphere for us,” added fellow senior Kristen Nuss, Coppola’s partner on pair one.

Coppola and Nuss have won 99 matches, competing in every collegiate match together, and will look to become just the third collegiate beach volleyball pair to reach the 100-win mark in the sport’s young history.

2024 NCAA Championship

For the seventh year in a row the Sandy Tigs made it back to the NCAA Championships in Gulf Shores, Alabama. LSU finished the season with 27 wins overall and ranked No. 5 in the final AVCA poll.

The 2024 post-season run was one for the books as the Sandy Tigs upset two AVCA Top 10 teams to advance to the Final Four for the second time in LSU Beach Volleyball history.

LSU faced No. 6 TCU in round one of the NCAA Championships where the match came down to Court 3 in a win-or-go home situation. Courts 2-5 went to three sets to decide the outcome of the match and finished within minutes of each other. Ella Larkin and Aubrey O’Gorman won the hard fought battle on Court 3 to solidify the 3-2 win for the Tigers. This is the third time that LSU has sent the Horned Frogs home in the NCAA tournament.

With the win over TCU, the Sandy Tigs were set to face No. 2 Stanford in round two and came out on top having the largest upset in NCAA Beach tournament history defeating the Cardinal, 3-2. The match came down to Reilly Allred and Parker Bracken on Court 2 to decide if the Tigers were heading to the Final Four. In a deciding third set to 15 points and win by two, Allred and Bracken topped Stanford 24-22 sending LSU to their second ever Final Four appearance.

With advancing to the Final Four round, the Tiger’s season came to an end later that day falling to No. 2 UCLA, 3-1.

The Sandy Tigs finished the season ranked No. 5 in the AVCA poll.

Indoor To Beach Success

Taryn Kloth won her final 50 matches at LSU. After not making the lineup in the 2019 NCAA Championship, Kloth went undefeated to finish her college career. The South Dakota native came to LSU after a succesful indoor career at Creighton where she was an All-American. With her perfect final season at LSU, Kloth became the first player ever to earn both indoor and beach AVCA All-America honors.

Geauxing Pro

Kloth and Nuss announced after the season that they would pursue a professional beach volleyball career as a pair. After winning their first three AVPNext events, Kloth and Nuss entered their first top tier tournament at 2021 AVP Atlanta. In their first start on the AVP Gold Series, Kloth and Nuss came away as champions.

Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss

The Winningest College Beach Player

Kristen Nuss finished with 139 career victories to become the winningest player in the hisory of college beach volleyball. A lightning quick defender who got to nearly every ball, Nuss raised the level of those around her. Competing on Court 1 from her freshman year on, she earned all of her wins against the best players from opposing teams.

A Historically Great Pair

Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth became the most dominant pair in the country throughout the 2021 season, becoming the second college duo of all-time to go 36-0. Kloth and Nuss rolled through opponents, defeating all-americans and Olympians throughout the course of the season. There was not an opposing pair that could stop the force of Kloth and Nuss as they become the first LSU pair to win National Pair of the Year honors.

2024 Pairs Olympics

Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth are the first pair in LSU Beach Volleyball history to play in the Olympic games. The unlikely beach duo of the 5-6 Nuss from New Orleans, Louisiana and the 6-4 Kloth from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has quickly risen to ranked among the top beach pairs in the world. Nuss is the only player who stands at 5-6 or shorter to compete on one of the top 40 pairs in the world. She will be the shortest U.S. Olympic beach volleyball player since 5-6 Barbra Fontana in 1996, the year beach volleyball made its Olympic debut.

Kloth and Nuss play well off each other’s strengths. Although Nuss is undersized, her instincts and quickness, coupled with her supreme athleticism, allow her to cover every inch of the court. Kloth’s size as a blocker allows her to make plays at the net defensively and when she is not blocking shots, she alters opponents’ shots at the net which gives Nuss the ability to allow her defensive prowess show. Offensively, they both have a multitude of shots to use at the net and earn points.

Eyeing the 2024 Olympic games in London, many beach volleyball experts felt that Kloth and Nuss needed to split up to start earning points towards qualifying for the games. Together, Kloth and Nuss, have rewritten the professional beach volleyball script. Neither Kloth nor Nuss had any ranking points which are needed to qualify for certain international tournaments, including the Olympics. Two weeks prior to a tournament in Coolangatta, Australia Kloth and Nuss, who were on the tournament’s reserve list, found themselves in the last slot of qualifiers. Just like in their AVP Gold debut in Atlanta, TKN had to play through the qualifying tournament to earn a spot in the main draw. Like in Atlanta, Kloth and Nuss won seven straight matches. That first international victory helped them to start earning more points and more opportunities to accumulate points.

Two weeks later they won again on the international stage, this time knocking off 2021 Olympic Silver Medalists Mariafe Artacho and Taliqua Clancy in the Kusadasi, Turkey finals. As they began to play more internationally, Kloth and Nuss began to earn points to qualify for the 2024 Olympics. In Olympic qualifying events throughout 2023, TKN finished in the top-5 in 10 events, medaled in seven and won three events, including the 2023 Beach Pro Tour Finals. The seven podium finishes marked the most for an American team since Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross in 2016. At the start of this year, the pair discovered they had mathematically clinched their spot in the 2024 Olympic Games and punched their ticket to Paris.

Like Kloth and Nuss, the second American beach pair to qualify for the Olympics were teammates and partners in college. Kelly Cheng and Sara Hugh played multiple seasons together as partners at USC and, like Kloth and Nuss, had a perfect 36-0 season on Court 1 in 2016.

2023 NCAA Championship

For the sixth year in a row the Tigers made it back to the NCAA Championships in Gulf Shores, Alabama. LSU finished the season with 27 wins overall and ranked No. 6 in the final AVCA poll.

The first year on the single elimination bracket proved to be an exciting time for the Tigers. LSU knocked off #12 FAU where the match came down to Court 4 in a win-or-go home situation.

The 2020 season was LSU Beach Volleyball’s seventh season - the year that head coach Russell Brock had always had his eye on as the season LSU would have a chance to compete for a National Championship. As a program, LSU always had great internal expectations, but heading into 2020, given the senior-heavy roster and success over previous seasons, the external expectations were equally as great. Adopting the team motto “Whatever It Takes,” the team was not shying away from any expectations and had the pieces in place to make a significant run.

As a steady Top-10 team for the prior three seasons, LSU earned its highest preseason ranking ever prior to the 2020 season, earning the No. 2 spot in the DiG Magazine Poll and the No. 3 ranking in the AVCA. The Tigers were going to be tested right off the bat with multiple Top-5 matchups and a trip over the Pacific Ocean for the first weekend of action.

LSU departed Baton Rouge for Hawaii to begin their season on Queen’s Beach with matchups set up against No. 1 UCLA, No. 5 Hawaii and No. 19 Stanford at the Duke Kahanamoku Beach Classic. In the first day of the tournament, LSU started with a sweep over Stanford, but went on the drop matches against UCLA and Hawaii. On Sunday the Tigers came back with a vengeance, taking down Hawaii first and then defeating UCLA in the championship match for the program’s first ever win over the Bruins.

Returning to Baton Rouge with some hardware, LSU immediately got back to work. LSU rose to No. 2 in the AVCA poll and had No. 1 UCLA coming to town for a No. 1 vs. No. 2 bout in the bayou.

Saturday night in LSU Beach Volleyball stadium saw a College Beach Volleyball record crowd of 2,407 fans witness the top-two matchup. For the second week in a row LSU defeated UCLA and when the new poll came out Monday, the Tigers were the top-ranked team in the nation for the first time in program history.

Travelling to TCU the following, Claire Coppola and Kristen Nuss had the opportunity to become the third pair in college beach volleyball history to win 100 matches together. They reached that mark in the first match of the weekend against Arizona and the Tigers swept through all four matches in Fort Worth, improving to 12-2 and remaining a No. 1 for the second straight week. Kellie Agnew and Taryn Kloth were 13-0 together throughout the season and were the only pair in the nation to win every set that they played in.

The Tigers were ranked No. 1 and in preperation for the LSU Beach Invitational when the nation essentially shutdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Tigers did not have to opportunity to finish what they started. The NCAA granted every Spring student-athlete an extra year of eligibility becuase of the season ending prematurely.

Unprecedented 2020

2019 NCAA Championship

The Tigers took the program to new heights in 2019, recording many ‘firsts’ throughout the season. Before the campaign began, LSU opened the premeire facility in Collegiate Beach Volleyball, LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium.

The Tigers would go onto finish with a perfect home record, 13-0 in the first season in their new stadium. The Tigers earned their highest ranking of all time after going 4-0 in the first week of the season, No. 4, and held onto the ranking for the majority of the season. LSU’s 25 regular season victories were the most in program history.

LSU finished as the runner-up at the CCSA Tournament, falling to Florida State in the championship match for the second straight year. LSU earned the No. 5 seed heading into the NCAA Championship and was set to play No. 4 Pepperdine.

LSU swept the first set on all five courts and ultimately clinched the match on Courts 1, 4 and 5. It was the first time in prgram history that LSU won its opening match at the NCAA Championship. No. 8 Stetson became the first team ever to defeat the top seed as it handed USC an opening round loss, setting up a Tigers vs. Hatters matchup in Round 2.

With the matchup tied at two courts a piece, the attention shifted to Court 5 where Allison Coens and Hunter Domanski were in a third set. The set was all evened out at 13 when the LSU duo earned back-to-back points, sending the Tigers to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time in program history. It was Coens and Domanski’s ninth third set win of the season.

The following day, LSU would fall to UCLA, 3-0, but with the championship’s double elimination format, the Tigers still had one more chance to advance to championship. After dropping the first set on Courts 4 and 5, LSU came storming back to take both courts to give the Tigers and early 2-0 edge, but USC came back on Courts 1, 2 and 3 to advance to the NCAA Championship Match where it fell to UCLA.

LSU finished with a program-best 31 victories and after being ranked No. 4 for most of the season finished as the No. 3 team in the land, heading into the offseason with the highest ranking in program history.

Claire Coppola and Kristen Nuss earned their second consectuive AVCA All-America honor and went on to win the USAV Collegiate Beach Championship for the second straight season.

For the second consecutive season, the LSU Tigers made it to the NCAA Championship at Gulf Shores, Alabama and became the first team from the east region to earn an at-large bid.

After setting new standards for the program in 2017, the Tigers came back in 2018 hungry for more success and the opportunity to play for it all once again. The Tigers entered the season as the sixth ranked team in the country.

Claire Coppola and Kristen Nuss did not suffer a sophomore slump after an impressive freshman campaign in 2017. The duo would go 31-8 throughout their second season together on the top court and would go onto to be named CCSA Pair of the Year and were mentioned on multiple All-America squads.

On March 10, the Tigers defeated the USC Trojans by a score of 4-1 at the East vs. West Challenge on Manhattan Beach, becoming just the sixth program to ever notch at lease one victory over the Women of Troy. That was the only win the Tigers would gather that weekend in California though. The Tigers preceded to go 1-3 the following weekend as well at South Carolina’s Gamecock Grand Slam.

The next weekend was LSU’s first home event and the Tigers reeled off 14 wins in a row to finish the regualr season on a 15-1 run heading into postseason play

The Tigers would make a run at the CCSA Championship, going 4-1 to earn a spot in the championship. Florida State, the only team that had beaten LSU in over a month, was standing in their way. The Seminoles ended the Tigers’ win streak weeks earlier and then became the only team to defeat them in the early rounds of the CCSA Tournament. LSU would not be able to avenge the past two losses though as it finished at the CCSA Tournament as the runner-up.

On selection sunday, the Tigers became the first team from the east region to earn an at large bid to the NCAA Championship, a major accomplishment for a sport dominated by the west coast in its first few years as an NCAA sport.

Entering as the No. 7 seed out of 8, the Tigers fell to No. 2 Pepperdine, 3-0, LSU defeated CCSA foe South Carolina, 3-1, to stay alive. The next day, LSU was eliminated via a 3-0 sweep by the future national champion UCLA.

The pairs of Claire Coppola/Kristen Nuss, Megan Davenport/Emmy Allen and Riley Young/Maddie Ligon earned the AVCA Top Flight Award and Hunter Domanski finished on the CCSA All-Freshman Team.

The Tigers finished the year at No. 6 in the polls for the second consecutive year.

2017 NCAA Championship

The 2017 season was one for the record books as the LSU beach volleyball team put together it’s best season in the four-year history of the program, setting the standard for the future and earning a place in the national spotlight.

After improving its win total each of the previous three years, LSU entered the season ranked for the first time in the preseason, coming in at No. 10 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association beach poll and No. 9 in the DiG Magazine rankings. Senior Katie Lindelow and junior Mandi Orellana were also voted to the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association Preseason All-Conference teams.

Despite dropping five of their first seven matches to open the season, the Tigers bounced back in a huge way, rattling off 23-straight wins to mark the third longest streak in LSU athletics history. During that span, LSU picked up eight wins over ranked opponents, including five victories against top-10 competition.

The Tigers advanced to the semifinals of the CCSA Conference Championships, falling to Florida International to snap their winning streak.

LSU was seeded seventh by the selection committee at the NCAA Championships in Gulf Shores, Alabama, marking the program’s first-ever berth in the tournament. The Tigers finished the championships with a 1-2 record, picking up the school’s first-ever victory against No. 6 seed Long Beach State by a score of 3-2. With the win, LSU joined Florida State as one of just two teams from the East region to win a match at NCAA’s.

The Tigers concluded the season achieving their highest ranking in the polls, coming in at No. 6 in the standings of both the AVCA and DiG Magazine rankings. LSU also maintained a perfect record on it’s home turf and claimed four of its five away matches.

Head coach Russell Brock was named the CCSA Coach of the Year and the VolleyballMag.com Coach of the Year after helping to propel the Tigers to new heights, guiding them to the best record in program history and the school’s first appearance at NCAA’s.

In just their first collegiate season, Coppola and Nuss were also voted to the second team VBM All-American squad for their efforts to wrap up the historic year for the program.
