Florida State takes on Cal Poly in the second quarterfinal of the 2024 NCAA Tournament of beach volleyball today.
The second quarterfinal of the day in the NCAA Tournament of beach volleyball features fifth-seeded Cal Poly (30-6) taking on fourth-seeded Florida State (31-7). The Seminoles are looking to get over the hump after finishing as the runner-up in this tournament three times, most recently in 2022. That starts here in the quarterfinals against a very good Mustangs team that has never played for the championship in beach volleyball. Heading into the quarterfinals only two of the eight teams reside outside of the state of California putting the pressure on the Seminoles to navigate through this tournament loaded with teams that live on the beach year-round.

Just under a month ago the teams played with the Seminoles coming out with a 3-2 win on the road. In that match the teams went to a third game in three of the five sets, setting the stage for this to be an epic and exciting match with a spot in the semifinals on the line. The winner of this match will play the winner of top-seeded USC or eighth-seeded LMU.
This season the Seminoles have played 11 matches against teams from across the country in California. In those matches they are 4-7 overall, going undefeated against every other team in the country this season. Getting over the hump against California teams this season will also be the key for the Seminoles to get over the hump and win their first NCAA Tournament in beach volleyball.
For the Mustangs, they look to build on a win in the first round against 12th seeded Arizona State (3-0) to kick off the tournament. That was one of the teams most complete matches of the year at the right time of the year heading into the NCAA Tournament.
