Coppola and Nuss Become Third Collegiate Beach Pair with 100 Wins

FORT WORTH – Claire Coppola and Kristen Nuss became the third collegiate beach pair to reach the 100-win mark Friday when they won on Court 1 against No. 17 Arizona at TCU's Fight in the Fort.

Coppola and Nuss, both seniors, have played every collegiate match together since 2017 when they were freshmen. They join USC's Kelly Claes and Sara Hughes (147-4) and UCLA's twin pair of Megan and Nicole McNamara (109-30) as the only collegiate beach pairs to reach 100 wins.

Of their 100 wins, 86 have come in straight sets. With all their personal success though, they have continued to push those around them.
