The opening round of the IIAAG Boys Beach Volleyball Tournament was played out Wednesday evening at the GFA Sand Courts with eight pairs and four games on set.
The Tiyan tandems were dominant on the day with Tyrone Buekis and Gerald Malana, along with VJ Rosario and Xander Duenas each winning their game by 15+ points each set.
The closest match of the day came from Friar duo Hoben Barcinas and Joe Mafnas, getting past the pair of Taylor Burch and Alden Sampson who were threatening to force a 3rd set.
#9 seed Cameron Kelley and Christian Lobaton were in a groove Wednesday as they shook up the standings in the first lower-seed win over the #8 seed Xavier Calvo and Antonio Rapadas.

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins made it to the NCAA Women’s Final Four, before losing to eventual champions UConn.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
