UCLA Dominates NCAA Championships; Brasilia Goes Bonkers; AVP League Roster Breakdown

Welcome to SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, where we have a breakdown of the most recent -- and very full -- weekend of beach volleyball, which includes:

• UCLA beach volleyball's dominant showing in Gulf Shores, winning their first NCAA Championship since 2019. Jenny Johnson Jordan has now won as a player, assistant coach, and head coach
• Audrey Koenig and Alexis Durish getting snubbed as the Player of the Year, despite being one of three NCAA teams ever to go undefeated, so they are our Slunks College Players of the Year
• Savvy Cory and Devon Newberry going bonkers in Brasilia, winning a bronze medal out of the qualifier.
• Is Sweden's Jacob Holting-Nilsson and Elmer Andersson the best team in the world? There's room for that discussion!
• And, alas, a full roster breakdown of the 2026 AVP League
