Beach Volleyball - A Wisconsinite in Florida Making Waves

Even though the weather in Wisconsin in March has felt a little bit like Florida, Kelsey Smith (Oregon, Wis.) is enjoying the actual Florida weather on the beaches. And not just laying around, either. Kelsey is actually making history as one of the first participants in NCAA Sand Volleyball at the University of North Florida. Kelsey played for Badger Region clubs SE Dane (2004-05), Acers (2005-09) and Wisconsin Select (2009-10) before her college career in Jacksonville. Here is the team's roster.

Smith scored UNF's first sand point (with Casey Giovanazzi) in the program's inaugural match against crosstown rival Jacksonville on March 9. Here's the full story.
