ATHLETICS<br />

WARRIOR REPORT<br />

Life Pacific University Athletics is in its seventh year as an intercollegiate program and fifth year in the NAIA as an<br />

acting member in the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC). WARRIOR UP!<br />

BEACH VOLLEYBALL KICK-OFF SEASON<br />

History was made as Spring <strong>2022</strong> marked the first<br />

season of LPU Beach Volleyball. With a newly<br />

installed sand court and an upgrade to our existing<br />

sand court, our lady Warriors jumped right into new<br />

domain, competing on the court and excelling in the<br />

classroom. Seven members of the Beach Volleyball<br />

team received GSAC awards as they earned a 3.5 or<br />

higher cumulative GPA.<br />

ON THE MISSION FIELD<br />

Ryerson (‘24), Vice<br />

President of ASG and setter<br />

for the Warriors, crossed<br />

borders this summer into<br />

Greece. Global Life’s <strong>2022</strong><br />

short-term team continued<br />

a four-year partnership<br />

between LPU and All4Aid,<br />

a Christian non-profit<br />

dedicated to meeting the Marissa Ryerson<br />

physical, emotional, and<br />

spiritual needs of women. Here’s what Marissa had<br />

to say about her time abroad, “Through this trip, God<br />

changed the posture of my heart to lean towards<br />

supporting refugees in any way I can... as an advocate<br />

for them and to continue praying for them.”<br />
