CHARLESTON, S.C. – Charleston beach volleyball hits the road for another four-pack of contests riding a seven-match win streak and receiving a vote in the latest AVCA Coaches' Poll.
 
Charleston took all four matches last weekend at UNCW by a 3-2 score downing the host Seahawks twice to take a 3-1 lead in the season series, then outlasted Jacksonville twice to even their season series with the Dolphins at 2-apiece.
 
Ella Reames and Maria Zweig paced the Charleston rotation with a 4-0 weekend at the second court reaching 25 wins as a tandem in their careers. Reames, Zweig and Kyra Thompson all eclipsed the 50 career wins mark as well moving into the top-10 all-time in wins in program history.
 
Thompson and top flight partner Gabi Bailey also enter the weekend just one win shy of tying the program record for wins (36) and can set the program record with another strong effort.
 
The Cougars open the weekend with host and rival Coastal Carolina Friday morning before taking on Erskine in the afternoon. Saturday sees the Cougars square off with Southeastern Louisiana for the first time in program history as well as Tampa.
