YOUNGSVILLE, La. – The University of Tennessee at Martin beach volleyball team claimed the first four points of a dominant victory over New Orleans, picking up its third win in a 24-hour span to close out the Sugar Beach Bash.

Moments later, UT Martin's No. 3 tandem of Kayla Bryant/Olivia O'Keefe pieced together their third clinching point of the weekend, drumming up a 21-19, 21-12 victory for their team-high eighth win of the spring.

The No. 1 Skyhawk duo of Dylan Mott/Jenna Vallée moved to 3-1 on the weekend after a 24-22, 21-10 victory to give UT Martin its fourth straight win of the match. The Skyhawks were close to a sweep but its No. 5 tandem of Ryan Rednour/Kylie Surratt fell in a close battle (23-21, 21-16).
