LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY (April 24, 2023) — The AVCA is pleased to announce its All-Americans for NAIA Beach Volleyball: Avari Ridgway and Megan Dennis of Corban and Conley Harris and Morgan Nash of Vanguard.
This year’s All-Americans led their teams to the title match of the second annual NAIA Women’s Beach Volleyball Invitational Championship, which took place in Panama City Beach, Florida. Vanguard captured the title 3-1, which avenged the Lions loss to Corban when the two teams met in the 2022 final.
In this year’s championship, Harris and Nash got the second point for Vanguard by winning a hard-fought battle with Ridgway and Dennis 17-21, 21-18, 15-13. When the teams met during pool, the results were reversed, as Ridgway and Dennis got the win.
The 2023 NAIA Beach Invitational brought together six teams—Corban, Ottawa, Park, Vanguard, Webber, and Westcliff—to compete for the national title. There were two pools of three teams, with pool winners receiving a bye to the semifinals and the other four teams playing in the first round of the single-elimination tournament.
