THIBODAUX, LA – Texas Wesleyan University (11-4) competed in the Beach Bayou Battle this past weekend, in which the Rams saw top level competition and came out 3-0 on the day. These three wins creates a six-game win streak for the Rams heading into the final stretch of their schedule.

The first match of the day started off against the Colonels of Nicholls State University, the Rams and Colonels faced off against each other for the first time in each other's beach volleyball history and would face off again later in the day as well. The first match was extremely close with the Rams winning it 3-2 on some clutch points to help turn the tide.

The Rams next matchup was facing off against the number nine ranked wolf pack of Loyola University (LA) in which the Rams saw another victory, this time winning convincingly at 4-1. The Rams took the lead early and never looked back. This also marks the first ranked opponent the Rams played and defeated this season.

The last match of the day was once again a face-off with the Colonels with the Rams winning with another 4-1 result to help the Rams go 3-0 on the day and increase their season record to 11-4.
