Format and venue

edit

The playing conditions at the Gulf Shores venue have been characterized by a few key factors; namely the compact sand that makes it easier for players to move and jump,[1][2] the strong winds,[1][2] and the possibility of rain during that time of the year.[3]

Dual summaries

First round

edit

The start of the 16-team main bracket was marked by strong winds and rain.[6] From this round onwards until the semifinals, all duals were played using a five-court setup with individual pairs matches played to decision.[7] The first matchup of the day saw UCLA sweep past A&M–Corpus Christi 3–0, winning in straight sets on the No. 1 (Denaburg and Maggie Boyd), No. 2 (Van Winkle and Peri Brennan) and No. 4 (Marlie Monserez and Jessie Smith) courts.[6][8] The weather was already overcast when the dual started and it was raining by the time the dual ended. The subsequent duals were thus delayed, with the final first-round dual—Loyola Marymount vs. Hawaii—being rescheduled for the next morning instead.[6]

Play resumed nearly two hours later even though it was still raining.[6]

A minor upset, and the only upset of the day, came when tenth-seeded Stanford beat seventh-seeded Grand Canyon 3–2, marking the Cardinal's first-ever dual win at the NCAA tournament. ... putting Grand Canyon 2–1 up. Only the matches on courts No. and No. remained, both of which were must-wins for Stanford. Both matches went to third set tie-breakers...

Championship dual

edit

The matchup was the third time UCLA and USC had faced off in the championship final (UCLA came out on top in 2019 and USC in 2021). The crosstown rivals had also played each other four times this season, with the Trojans winning the first meeting and the Bruins the subsequent four. Although both teams were familiar with each other, it would be their first meeting playing in the relatively hard-packed sand conditions of Gulf Shores.[10]
