`Runners Ready for Senior Day in the Sand

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The final home matches of the 2023 season have arrived for the Cal State Bakersfield beach volleyball team. The Roadrunners are preparing to host CSUN and Westcliff on Friday, Apr. 14, as CSUB celebrates five seniors with a Senior Day Ceremony between matches.
 
Quotes from Head Coach Cesar Benatti
  • "These two matches are extremely important for us. As I always say, our goal is to get better every time we step on the sand, and there is nothing better than playing two great teams on our home courts."
  • "We have seen both of these teams earlier and they have definitely gotten better, so we have to play our best to be able to beat them."
  • "It will be a very special day. Senior day is always a different day, lots of emotions, and this one will not be different. This group of seniors has made a huge impact in our program, setting a really high bar and awesome standards for the next generation of `Runners. I'm excited to celebrate them."
