Sand flew into the air every so often as players dove to try and keep the volleyball in the air. Even when the sky became cloudy and the air colder, the games continued with no complications. 

The Backyard was sent into a welcoming atmosphere Friday, Sept. 6 as NPAC hosted a two-versus-two intramural sand volleyball tournament.

Students paired up to participate in the noncompetitive, two-versus-two tournament starting at 5 p.m. Teams had to sign up at the NPAC beforehand to enjoy the laid-back competition. The matches consisted of best two out of three sets, and each set went tilla team scored 15 points. When a set was won, the pairs would switch sides before starting the next set.

 If students didn’t want to participate in the actual tournament, they could still get involved from the sidelines. Groups of students gathered around to watch players, supporting them by cheers and music.

The tournament saw Associate Director of Residence Life Taylor Osmotherly and Ruben Nolasco, of Chadron, win the tournament.
