CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The HBU beach volleyball team fell 3-2 at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Friday afternoon at Dugan Family Stadium.

"Today was a really good match for us," head coach Trent Herman said. "We didn't get the result, but to be here for (Texas A&M-Corpus Christi)'s first-ever home match and be in the elements with 25-plus mile per hour winds was something we've never played in before and was important for girls to go through."
 
Tandems Aeriel Horton and Jessica Wooten, and Kayla Armer and Laura Fox each picked up wins for the Huskies (3-3). Armer and Fox won in straight sets against the Islanders (1-5), while Horton and Wooten claimed a 2-1 victory.
 
The win for TAMU-CC, playing its inaugural home opener, marked the first win for the program.
 
HBU will look to bounce back with two matches on Saturday, participating in TAMU-CC's host tournament. The Huskies will face TCU in a 10 a.m. first serve, before facing the Islanders at 1:30 p.m.
