AVP held a dynamic beach volleyball event in Central Park's Wollman Rink, featuring 300 tons of sand to create a beach-like atmosphere in NYC. The competition faced pleasant Saturday weather, followed by challenging heat on Sunday. Notable players included teammates Corinne Quiggle and Megan Rice. Quiggle has an impressive background, being a former WCC Player of the Year and a two-time All-American. Rice transitioned from indoor to beach volleyball, gaining honors such as AVCA All-American and Rookie of the Year in 2023. Their matches drew significant attention as they showcased their talents in an iconic setting.
This sport has taken us to so many places and so many venues that are iconic, and I think this has to be one of the best. Central Park in New York is just amazing, and we're just so grateful to be here, says Rice.
Corinne Quiggle earned titles like 2018 WCC Player of the Year, a spot on the 2017 National Championship All-Tournament Team, and recognition as a two-time All-American and All-Academic honoree.
Rice from California, started out playing indoor volleyball at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) and then moved up to beach volleyball her junior year.
