Head coach Alex Luna on Unnasch
"It gives me a ton of confidence having Liv on board for the start of our inaugural beach season. She carries herself with confidence and professionalism both on and off the court, and immediately commands any room she walks into. Her strong voice will be a huge asset to this program and a change of scenery will really help her blossom from a strong beach player to a strong leader as well. Her bold personality and passion for beach leave me extremely excited to collaborate with her on shaping our program's identity on and off the court."
