The Fresno City College women’s beach volleyball team had a record of 26 wins and no losses in the 2025-26  season. 

For the second consecutive season, the Rams went undefeated in its conference, which is composed of Monterey Peninsula College, Cabrillo Community College, Hartnell College, De Anza College, College of San Mateo, West Valley College, and Gavilan College. 

Of those teams and the 49 other teams in the California Conference, FCC is the only team that has won 26 games in a row. 

All the while, the team has been practicing outside of the main campus and traveling to play opponents. 

“No one travels like we do,” Kieran Roblee, the head coach for women’s indoor and outdoor volleyball at FCC said. 

The Rams practice at the Well Community Church. 

“Our team’s used to traveling, so I have no worries about us when we’re on the road because we do really well, and it’s not odd for us,” Roblee said. 

Even with the confidence and success while traveling, Roblee said that a court at FCC would benefit the team and the community around the college. 

The coach says that the team could use a total of six beach volleyball courts.

“I want it done right,” Roblee said. 

Coach emphasized that she does not want the courts to be made hastily and that anyone could use them.

“I want it to be a place where the community can use the courts, and we can host a championship. I don’t want us to put a box together with some sand and not be something that is a marquee place where we can showcase things,” Roblee said. 

Another aspect of their success comes from the experiences and expectations that Roblee and Rams have set over the course of the past two seasons. 

“Even though we didn’t technically win the state championship, I mean, we were undefeated in conference last year, and there were a lot of things that we checked off in terms of our growth and gains and understanding beach volleyball,” Roblee said. 

Roblee also believes the experience and leadership of returning players have helped build the team for the future. 

Jayla Iversen is a sophomore and plays blocker on the team. She said some of the best moments on the team are spent bonding with other players. 

“We always travel in vans together, and that always carries a lot of good memories. We all just sit together, and we talk about how we played, and it’s always fun just to hear because sometimes we don’t get to watch each other. So we just kind of like, debrief in the van,” Iversen said. 

Annika Ramirez is a sophomore and plays defender. She, also emphasized the importance of bonding in the team.

“Most of our ladders (a position) are cheering on the ones (a position), and it’s just very wholesome. It reminds us how close our team is and how much support we have for each other,” Ramirez said. 

Another obstacle the players have to work around is the weather.

“When it’s rain and wind, it’s a lot [because] the ball’s weight changes. You know, you can’t see,” Iversen said. 

Ramirez broke down the process of playing in these elements. 

“ If there is just rain, the ball is just really heavy. If there’s wind, you have to play with the wind. You have to hit into the wind. There’s a certain direction you have to go. There’s a lot of mental processing that goes into it,” Ramirez said. 

Both players felt confident not only from the Rams’ success, but from what is displayed during practice. 

“Every practice makes me so proud of these girls, and the fact [that] we have so much love for volleyball, it’s just so crazy. So different from when you’re in high school and just playing,” Ramirez said. 

Ambition and determination are pushing the Rams into the 2026 playoffs. 

“You can just tell that we’re all ready and excited for [the] playoffs, like we’re ready to compete, and we’re very ambitious,” Ramirez said. 

With the two wins today against Monterey Peninsula and San Joaquin Delta, the team will once again be state runner-ups and competing as one of the highest-ranked teams in California.
