Stan Liu/Arizona Athletics | The Daily Wildcat Sophomore Brooke Burling (31) during the Wildcats 4-1 loss to the Loyola Marymount Lions on March 3 at Bear Down Beach in Tucson, AZ.
Arizona beach volleyball sophomore Brooke Burling has been an important piece of the puzzle for the Sand Cats’ success over the past two years.
Burling had her eyes on Arizona’s beach volleyball team ever since the team’s inception six years ago when she was in the eighth grade. Her mother played collegiate volleyball, but after having kids, she decided to quit playing court volleyball and pick up beach volleyball back home in Chicago.
