SALEM, Ore.---The Pilots beach volleyball team went 1-1 on Tuesday, defeating Corban 3-2 after Oregon was able to hold them off by a 4-1 margin earlier in the afternoon. The Pilots pair of Shayla Hoeft and Alycia Wodke collected two sweeps on the day, the second of which clenched the team win for Portland against the Warriors.
 
In their season debut, the Portland 2's team of Jayde Harris and Noelani Helm came back to force a third frame and claim a 2-1 against their Corban counterparts.
 
3's pair Kellie Hughes and Kendall Nolan registered another sweep for the Pilots, defeating a Warriors partnership in set scores of 21-15 and 21-18.

"The team did a great job of competing hard in some difficult conditions," said head coach Dylan Hamilton. "We were great teammates, and grinded out a tough win against Corban. We are excited to get back at it this weekend in Seattle!"

The Pilots will be back in action later this week when they travel north for a matchup with the Washington Huskies starting on Friday, April 16, and continuing on Saturday, April 17. Match start times are TBA.
