Despite losing to WU in the finals of the first two Western Grouping tournaments, Corban won the inaugural national tournament in 2022 and lost to Vanguard in last year's championship match, making the Warriors a formidable hurdle for the Cal Pac to surpass and advance and represent the Western Grouping at the National Invitational, which will take place at the Greenville Beach Volleyball Complex in Greenville, Tenn., April 25-27.
