Summary

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision host Ryan Abraham is joined in studio by USC head beach volleyball coach Dain Blanton to talk about their national championship three-peat. In his fourth season as head coach Blanton has taken home the title the last three seasons, even after replacing nearly his entire roster off of the 2022 championship squad. Blanton talks about how he relied on several freshmen along with a few graduate transfers to help win the championship this season as well as coming into this final tournament as an underdog to No. 1 ranked UCLA. The championship match was an exciting one with USC up 2-0 after the first two matches and then UCLA had a furious comeback to tie things up at 2-2. It came down to the No. 3 pairs and USC's senior twins, Audrey and Nicole Nourse. Blanton talks about when the pressure is on, the Nourse twins always deliver and last weekend they did for the Women of Troy, securing a 2-1 victory and the USC three-peat.
