LOS ANGELES -- The No. 5 Loyola Marymount University beach volleyball team won its second consecutive West Coast Conference Championship on Saturday at Dockewiler Beach. The team won three straight matches to take home the title. 

"I'm proud of this team for all the hard work and growth they made this season," said head coach John Mayer. "It's challenging to win a championship and this team went out and battled for it these past two days and this whole year.
