Latvian beach volleyball player Tīna Graudiņa from the University of Southern California team “Trojans” has been recognized as the best player of the “Pac-12” conference this season.
Graudiņa and Hailey Harvard were also recognized as the best pair, but the head coach of the University of Southern California team, Dane Blanton, was named the best coach. Graudiņa has become the first beach volleyball player to be recognized as the best player in the Pac-12 division three times (also in 2019 and 2021). She is also in the best pair for the third time. Graudiņa was also voted in the core of his All Star conference, becoming the first player to succeed four times. Graudiņa participated in 32 games this season and won 31 victories, ending the season with 30 successes in a row, which is the second longest series in the history of competitions.
It has already been reported that at the beginning of May, Trojans won the first division championship of the National College Sports Association (NCAA), with the Latvian becoming the champion for the second year in a row. The Seminoles of Florida State University were defeated 3-1 in the final. Last season, Graudiņa and his teammates won the NCAA Championship title, beating the Bruins of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) 3-1 in the final.
