History

The university has a rich volleyball tradition. They have had four head coaches since the team's inception in 2012. In 2014 under head coach Scott Wong, they appeared in the NCAA Division I Final Four. During the 2015 season, they ranked first in attendance among all Division 1 volleyball beach programs. The "SandBows" averaged over 330 fans, each, for six home matches. With Collegiate Beach's inception, the Bows have been ranked in every AVCA Top 10 Poll to date.^[2] The university plays its home matches in the—five courted—The Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.^[3]

Angelica Ljungqvist assumed the role of head coach in August 2020 after the indoor and beach programs merged in a financial decision stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.^[4]
