The second half of Big 8 Conference play has begun and the action at the College of Marin on Friday did not disappoint.
Sierra College Beach Volleyball – the two-time defending Big 8 Conference champions and two-time defending Big 8 pairs champions – gear up for their first season of the decade with a few key sophomores and more than a few fresh faces. The three sophomores from last years team look to develop as leaders and mentors on the court, while the freshman bring a variety of talent and backgrounds to the Wolverine squad.
For the second year in a row, Sierra College Beach has the top pair in the conference. Meghan Merlino and Haley Biles cruised through bracket play and met their conference foe in Howard and Hampton from Feather River College in the winner take all final. In a thrilling 3-set match, Merlino and Biles secured the victory, and with it the 2019 Big 8 Conference Pairs Championship.
Coming into the day Sierra had to defeat Delta College and the College of the Redwoods to have its share of the Championship and did not disappoint, blanking Delta and Redwoods for the co-championship with Feather River.
