team lost Mason Briggs

this was IMO one of the best Beach and one of the best collegiate receiving teams I've ever seen

Siapanis. 0.988 (has to be a record)
Larson. >0.960
Kandev. >0.97
Varga. > 0.97

that is not just stellar, it is ridiculously good. maybe 5 or so sets all year combined they had issues, notably the first two sets vs. Irvine @ Pyramid

for as good as Nikolov was making the team look good, these backrow players set themselves up, with nails passing. Aiden had to run all over the place at times, Moni was peering over the net (well he's taller) surveying before setting.

If Beach can continue that passing next year, they will contend. and for Larson, who had to replace the best libero in the nation, part of the reason, and then losing Siapanis passing, and Kandev was able to handle it and that is what gave the team teh April groove with Larson taking a more aggresive role receiving once Siapanis could not play.

and those 3 come back next year.

and why they pounded UCLA from the get go, handling UCLA's serve
