Irvine Valley's women's beach volleyball team gets some more time on its own sand this week with a pair of events.
The Lasers will host a California Community College Athletic Association South Team Regional on Tuesday and then the pairs regional on Friday.
Both events will determine spots in the upcoming CCCAA State Championships next Week at The Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista.
Irvine Valley, which won the Orange Empire Conference East Division, earned the No. 3 seed and will host San Diego Mesa and Saddleback on Tuesday in a team regional.
Action gets underway at 11 a.m. with Irvine Valley facing Saddleback. The Gauchos will then play San Diego Mesa at 12 p.m. before the Lasers take on Mesa at 1 p.m.
