Tjasa Kotnik and her partner Kaitlyn Sibson have been outstanding in the No. 1 position to the Eckerd beach volleyball team, going 6-1 in their first seven matches this season.  Kotnik, an AVCA All-American in indoor volleyball, has translated that play into beach volleyball as a dominant force at the net.  Kotnik and Sibson's only loss came against No. 10 Stetson (Fla.), and three of their six wins have come in straight sets.  The duo is a big part of the program's improvement in its second year of competition.
