Downtown Atlanta? No problem as Georgia State thrives in beach volleyball
|
It seems illogical, but the hot, dry sand behind the Georgia State University Sports Center is an oasis. The GSU players consider those beach volleyball courts a sanctuary from stereotypes of what a Division I player should look like.
