Three Remain In Hunt For NCAA Beach Title
Only three teams are still in the hunt for the inaugural NCAA beach volleyball championship title.

USC defeated Florida State in today's semifinals. The 3-1 decision featured victories for No. 1 pair Sara Hughes and Kelly Claes, Jenna Belton and Abril Bustamante on court four and Jo Kremer and Zoe Nightingale on court five. With the win, USC earned a spot in the national championship match tomorrow at 2 p.m. CT.

The question of who joins them on that stage will be determined in tomorrow's first match between Florida State and UCLA. UCLA defeated Hawaii in a decided 3-0 decision in the contenders' bracket. The victory helped to redeem UCLA's first round loss to the Rainbow Wahine and propelled the Bruins into the final round of the contenders' bracket. That match will air at 11:30 a.m. ET on ncaa.com.
