JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. - Carson-Newman beach volleyball coach Kyle Peck, released the 2017 beach volleyball schedule on Tuesday Morning.
"There is going to be a lot less matches, travel, and playing," Peck said. "Last year was a very intense year with the indoor team going to the Elite Eight...we decided to scale it back to give the team a mental and physical break."
This year's beach team will only travel within the state of Tennessee with two tournaments at Austin Peay, and a home match against Lincoln Memorial.
The team's first trip to Austin Peay will be on the weekend March 17-18 against Austin Peay, UT Martin, Missouri Baptist and Central Arkansas.
"Central Arkansas is a Division I team that has had some success in the past few seasons," Peck said.
The Eagles will face Lincoln Memorial twice at home this season starting on April 8. The team will finish the season with a second trip to Austin Peay, with matches against Lincoln Memorial, Spring Hill and host Austin Peay.
"Any time we get together with Lincoln Memorial, it will be a big match and it will be fun," Peck said. "We will match up very well with them, they are very similar to us."
Last season the Eagles went 4-1 against the 2017 opponents and went 11-12 overall. The Eagles picked up sweeps against Stevenson and Lincoln Memorial last year, while finishing the season on a four-match win streak.
