The UCLA women's beach volleyball team won the school's 117th NCAA championship on Sunday in Alabama, beating rival USC in the final.
The Bruins lost no matches during the two-day tournament.
The Bruins' No. 4 and No. 5 teams opened the final with victories, meaning the Bruins only needed to win one of the final three matches to deliver a second consecutive championship for coach Stein Metzger.
Two homegrown women from Southern California, freshman Abby Van Winkle and senior Zana Muno, clinched the NCAA title with a two-set win as the No. 3 team for a 3-0 match victory.
USC was seeded No. 1 in the tournament after beating the Bruins to win the Pac-12 Conference championship.
Last year Muno played despite wearing a brace on an knee injury. She's scheduled to become a pro beach player with two NCAA championships on her resume.
"I think this is a real special group," Metzger said. "We had five seniors who built this program."
