Austin, Honzovicova Earn C-USA Pair of the Week

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The No. 10 Florida Atlantic University beach volleyball team (21-8) won the Conference USA Pair of the Week award for the second consecutive week, fourth time this season. After another successful weekend on the sand, the Owls' court three pair in Ellie Austin and Julie Honzovicova earned C-USA Pair of the Week. This marks the pair's first ever weekly honor.

Austin/Honzovicova finished 2-0 at the FIU Beach Bash Tournament on court three to help the Owls earn two 5-0 sweeps over the weekend. The pair began Friday's play with a 21-17, 21-8 dominating victory over Tulane, who has received votes in the AVCA Poll, to clinch the dual for FAU. Austin/Honzovicova then picked up another huge win over No. 15 FIU, 21-16, 23-21, which contributed to the Owls clinching all five courts in straight sets over the Panthers. The Owls' 5-0 sweep marked the team's first of its kind over the Panthers in school history.

This season, the pair is 18-7 at the end of the regular season slate. Their 18 wins as a pair on court three marks the most by a pair on flight three in school history. In just their first season together, the pair is tied for the seventh most career wins overall as a pair in school history.

Beach volleyball ended the regular season with a 21-8 mark, 7-1 in C-USA play, with the program's 21 wins being tied for a single-season record. The Owls, who are on an eight-match winning streak, is set to compete at the C-USA Championship from Thursday, April 28 to Saturday, April 30 at the John Hunt Sand Volleyball Complex in Huntsville, Alabama. The full bracket will be released soon.
