Beach volleyball looks to sustain momentum despite youth movement

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Brad Keenan believes the 2017 Sun Devil beach volleyball team created the first legitimate momentum for the four-year-old program when it went 16-16 and finished 3-2 in Pac-12 play.

Sustaining that momentum will be a tall task for ASU's second-year coach. The Sun Devils lost four top seniors -- Bianca Arrelano, Cassidy Pickrell, Whitney Follette and Madison Berridge -- to graduation.

Keenan's 2018 roster includes six freshmen: Kate Baldwin, Sierra Ellett, Bailey Anderson, Cierra Flood, Cassidy Schilling and Samantha Plaster.
