No. 14 Sandy Panthers Go Wheels Up to Honolulu For Hawaii Invitational

HONOLULU— No. 14-ranked Georgia State beach volleyball departs for Honolulu this week and prepares for double round-robin duals at the Hawaii Invitational on April 15-16. Hosted by No. 8-ranked Hawaii, the Sandy Panthers' slate of competition will include a total of four matchups over the weekend facing the hosting Rainbow Wahine and No. 20 ranked Arizona at Clarence T.C. Ching Complex on Saturday and Sunday.

GSU enters its final week of regular-season action having hosted the annual GSU Diggin' Duals last weekend. The Sandy Panthers charted consecutive wins on day two of the tournament in Atlanta, posting a 4-1 win over No. 16-ranked South Carolina and a 5-0 sweep facing UAB to close home play for 2023.

Senior Maddy Delmonte and sophomore Ayla Johnson paired at the fourth and fifth flights over the weekend and charted an unbeaten 4-0 mark as a pair whilst downing No. 16 USC and No. 20 Stetson. The duo notched straight-set victories for every match and earned Sun Belt Conference Pair of the Week honors for the unblemished record at the team's final home outing for the spring.

Delmonte was among four seniors recognized at the Sandy Panthers' final home tournament in Atlanta, as the team held its Senior Day ceremony prior to the last match of the weekend facing UAB. A fifth-year graduate from Virginia Beach, Virginia, Delmonte closed home competition with GSU now accounting for 82 career wins since 2019.

Saturday will see the Sandys open the tournament in Honolulu facing Arizona at 2 p.m. ET. GSU will then battle the hosting BeachBows for the team's second dual at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Sunday features repeat matchups against each foe, as GSU will once again face Hawaii at 6 p.m. ET. The team closes the weekend and regular-season competition with a second dual against Arizona at 8:30 p.m. ET.
