CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – On Friday, April 2 and Saturday, April 3, the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Islander’s Women’s NCAA Division I Beach Volleyball Team will host the 2021 Conni & Jay Wise Island Classic at downtown’s The Water’s Edge.
The Beach Volleyball event will feature five universities including our Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Islanders, University of Utah, Houston Baptist University, Texas A&M University-Kingsville and Stephen F. Austin. These teams will all play each other in a single game match over the course of two days. Matches start at 8:00 a.m. daily and end with the final game at 4:30 p.m.

This will be just the third home tournament in school history since the program began in 2016. The Islanders did not have a home tournament last year due to COVID-19.
