On May 9, Santa Monica College (SMC) Corsairs’ blocker Nicole Lankton and defender Annah Legaspi entered the California Beach Volleyball Pairs Championship as the top seed in the southern school’s division. In a field of 19, they were ranked No. 1.

In the first match, Lankton and Legaspi swept Mt. San Jacinto (MSJ) Eagles Korie Milan and Josephine Springer. They took their first match against the Eagles two sets to none.

The second match started out with the same dominating play. Lankton and Legaspi won the first set 21-5, but the second set played out differently. American River College (ARC) Beavers Samantha Chavez and Sadie White rebounded, winning the second set 21-13. Lankton and Legaspi came back strong in the third set, winning 15-4.

In the height of the early afternoon, the temperature rose to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat became a problem, as crews had to spray down the courts’ sand to cool it off. Staying cool in an open space was difficult.

Lankton and Legaspi matched with Monterey Peninsula College (MPC) Lobos Anna Eldridge and Lydia Schwemmer. Eldridge and Schwemmer came out playing hard, building a lead that Lankton and Legaspi could come back from. 

Lankton and Legaspi showed their mental toughness in the second set. The score was tight, but they pulled out the win 21-18. This sent the match to a tie-breaking third set. 

The heat persisted and both pairs tried to cool down between breaks in action. During the break before the third match, the crew hosed down the court as Legaspi ran onto the court to get sprayed to cool down. 

In the third set, Lankton and Legaspi came out dominating. They built a lead early and the Lobos couldn’t stop them. The final score was 15-5, the Corsairs winning.

On May 10, Lankton and Legaspi will go into the next round undefeated.

LONG JUMP RESULTS | MEN’S 100 METER RESULTS

NEW ORLEANS – A pair of Privateers had to wait a big longer than anticipated as rain and lightning delayed procedures at the 2025 NCAA East Regional at Hodges Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Christopher Murphy got things started for the Privateers with jumps of 6.66 meters, 6.58 meters and 7.20 meters in the long jump. After two flights Murphy sat in 12th place for almost three and a half hours as the inclement weather delayed the starts for flights three and four. When the dust settled however, the Port Allen native’s best mark placed him 30th.

After an almost four hour wait Madonna Favour ruled to have reacted too quickly when the 100M dash began at almost 10 p.m. CST.

Murphy and Favour return to action Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. CST when they are joined by Daryl Bachmann, and Darryl George Jr. in the men’s 4×100 relay. Fans can watch the 4×100, as well as all of Friday’s races on ESPN+. Updates will also be made available @privateersTFXC on X and Instagram.
