The College of Charleston beach volleyball team is set to begin its 2026 season with a pair of matches against the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) on Friday, February 20. The games will take place in Wilmington, starting at 4:00 p.m.
Charleston returns 11 players from last year’s roster and adds five new athletes. The newcomers include transfers Holly Hopkins, Madison Loving, and Paige Clark, as well as first-year players Harleigh King and Jordan Patrick.
