Bayou Bash brings fun in sun to Monroe

A food truck, a bouncy house and wins were all on display this weekend as beach volleyball brought Bayou Bash to life.

A two-day event brought an incredible crowd to the sand volleyball courts for a jam-packed weekend.

ULM is now 12-8 on the season after picking up three wins over the weekend.

“We handled our business early,” said Sara Rishell, head coach.

The Warhawks showed their dominance early against Nicholls State and won the             match, 5-0.

ULM quickly followed that up with a win against Texas A&M-Kingsville, 3-2.

The duo of Catherine Griffith and Maile Sellers continued their winning ways this weekend with blowout wins in both games on Friday.

“Maile and Catherine played phenomenally well,” Rishell said. “I’m so proud of Maile for staying controlled behind Catherine’s big block. We had a specific game plan against Kingsville, and they executed it to a T.”

ULM wasn’t able to start Saturday the same way Friday began as they lost to Kingsville, 2-3.

However, the Warhawks picked things back up as they handily defeated Nicholls again, 5-0.

The ladies will go on the road for the Houston Baptist tournament on March 29 before coming back home to host the ULM Warhawk Challenge.
