Big West BVB honors to Scoles-Homayun

Don’t think this was a huge surprise. Ari Homayun and Julia Scoles played really well over the weekend, earning Big West Pairs Team of the week on Tuesday. Opposing coaches commented on Scoles’ physicality. As they say in VB, she hits a heavy ball. Scoles’ mother was here watching.

Scoles is very athletic and is falling in love with beach. She told me that she still feels like a fish out of water as she continues to learn the game. IMHO she is has learned to swim quickly. You saw it in fall. She and Pani Napoleon finished second in the pairs exhibition tournament Nov. 18.

Coach Jeff Hall agreed that Scoles was impressive in her spring playing debut.
