TEMPE – Kicking off the fall schedule, Sun Devil Beach Volleyball is playing in the 2026 SCE West Coast Championship at Manhattan Beach Pier this Friday through Sunday.

The event is a pairs tournament, with different Arizona State pairs across all divisions. Fans can follow along through Volleyball Life on their website.

In 2026, Arizona State went 18-15 against a tough schedule, finishing ranked No. 12 in the final AVCA Coaches Poll for the third year in a row. Only eight of the 33 duals were against unranked opponents. The Sun Devils earned 10 ranked wins, including two against top-10 teams TCU and LMU. 

The Sand Devils graduated five from the 2026 roster. They welcome two transfers and five freshmen. ASU returns three student-athletes that earned 20 or more wins in 2026: graduates Arden Besecker and McKenna Flaherty and senior Kristin Gilmour.
