Match 2: LBCC vs. Mt. San Jacinto College (LBCC wins 5–0)

Director of Volleyball Operations and Head Coach for Women's Indoor & Beach Volleyball, Tyler Jackson, commented on her squads performance, "Pre-season just started and I'm already excited about the growth of this group. Our early matches exposed both our strengths and the areas we need to improve. We're deep this year, and even figuring out a starting lineup has been a challenge, which is a good problem to have. We also have a few new indoor transfers adjusting to the beach game and watching them grow and adapt has been exciting. Looking forward to our home opener vs OCC and SBCC."
