Penn State head women's volleyball coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley and Final Four MVP Jess Mruzik join Terry to discuss a season that would make a great script for a Hallmark Movie. For Penn State to prevail, several things had to happen: They had to learn from regular season losses to Pitt and Wisconsin. They had a must-win situation in late November when they had to beat Nebraska to host a Regional Championship. They had to come from behind 16-22 in the fourth set of the semifinals in Louisville to continue playing, and they had to rally around their head coach when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in September. This is their story, brought to you by Humanex Ventures.

In this sparsely attended episode, Karen chats with Mizzou Women's Hoops writers Quentin & Dylan about the Tigers' time in Florida and their latest win over Jacksonville State (Ala.) before getting into the team's SEC-ACC Challenge opponent, SMU, a team most definitely not on the Atlantic coast. Dylan wraps up the chat with some quips and coach speak from Tiger Talk, which has moved locations for hoops season. Then, we hear individual video updates from a festive Abigail on the start of indoor T&F season, which will have home meets this season thanks to their new track, and the surprise return of our favorite J-School triple jumper, Euphenie Andre. Matthew appears with volleyball updates from on the road at an Oklahoma What-a-burger, where he's making his way to the NCAA Volleyball tournament to watch Dawn Sullivan & Co. take on Texas State in a quest to reach the Sweet 16. Rory then joins to talk all things swim & dive (so many best times!), before Matthew returns with another video about wrestling and its surprisingly poor start. Finally, the original trio regroups so Karen can provide some overly enthusiastic Gym updates (less than 30 days!) and since everyone on the screen covers softball in some capacity, they talk about the surprising exit of pitcher Lilly Whitten over the holiday weekend, and what that means for this already small Tiger rotation which will be tasked with playing one HELL of a schedule.

After starting the 2nd portion of the show with a mention of how Amalie Arena rocked as host of the NCAA Volleyball championships - and Texas rocked Nebraska to win it - Darek recaps the Saturday hoops doubleheader at the Yuengling Center. The men's squad overcomes an early hole to eventually roll Loyola 77-64, and the women drop one to still-unbeaten NC State.

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Mason Briggs, an All-American at Long Beach State and one of the best liberos in the world. But he's far more than that. Briggs is a trailblazer, a 22-year-old who has amassed one of the biggest followings in all of NCAA Volleyball, a following he is using to expand the reach of the game in new and innovative ways, such as trading cards. We talked all about that, as well as: Where Briggs' entrepreneurial spirit comes from (come for the duct tape wallets, stick around for the Steve Madden story) Why men's volleyball is the world's greatest kept secret His “pinnacle moment” being the only college player on the USA National Team's World Championship roster What it's like backing up, and learning from, Erik Shoji And so much more.
