BOCA RATON, Fla. –  The Florida Atlantic University beach volleyball team achieved its highest national ranking ever in this week's DiG Magazine poll. The Owls are ranked 11th in the poll, which was released Monday.
The move to 11th is a five-spot improvement from last week's ranking, bolstered by FAU's win over then 10th-ranked South Carolina, who fell to 12th. The Owls were also competitive against Florida State and LSU, who are ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, in the poll.
The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) ranks the Owls 16th in its most recent poll, two spots higher than last week.
FAU returns to action on Friday, March 15 at the FIU Invite in Fort Lauderdale.
