Alexis Durish and Carra Sassack, the most dynamic of FSU Beach Volleyball duos, are back again, chatting life, ice-breakers, and a look-ahead at this weekend's Death Volley Invitational at LSU, where the 'Noles will play UCLA, Stanford, USC, and Long Beach State.

Welcome back to SandyNoles: An FSU Beach Volleyball Podcast. On this episode, we have Jordan Boulware and Paige Kalkhoff, a red shirt freshman and a fifth-year senior, respectively, who are, oddly enough given their age gap, the best of friends.

Or, in their words, Honeys.

It'll take you roughly five seconds to realize just how good of friends they are, as they laugh, giggle, knee-slap their way through defining all of the "brain rot" words of their generation for a very confused assistant coach, chat how their relationship blossomed on a trip to Hawaii, and even get into some more serious matters like childhood memories.

It's a fun ride. Enjoy and GO NOLES!

Welcome back to SandyNoles: An FSU Beach Volleyball podcast! This week's episode features Audrey Koenig, the 2023 ACC Co-Player of the Year – alongside Louisville’s Anna DeBeer – who is currently headlining the Florida State Beach Volleyball team. Her record, 9-2 in 2025 thus far, suggests an experienced, top-flight talent. Yet she’s only eight months into beach volleyball. What?? Indeed. We chat all about that, as well as:

• What it was like for Koenig to play her final indoor match, after playing indoor volleyball for 13 years
• The difficulties of transitioning from indoor to beach volleyball
• How beach volleyball is the perfect way to train for indoor, but not necessarily vice versa
• How far she wants to take volleyball, be it returning to one of the many professional indoor leagues in the USA or head to the beach, where she would be an immediate prospect to get scooped by an elite defender

And, as always, a whole lot more.

GO NOLES!!
