Tulane University beach volleyball has signed five incoming freshmen for the 2027-28 competition year. The incoming freshman class is scheduled to join the Green Wave next fall.
Head beach volleyball coach Eyal Zimet signed Alyssa Archiello, Logan Leverte, Sydney Scovic, Tesa Solis, and Reyne Szabla to the program, according to Tulane University Athletics.
“We are excited to welcome our five incoming freshmen for the class of 2027, and we can’t wait for them to arrive on campus and join our Tulane beach volleyball family,” said Zimet.
“We are thrilled about the passion, drive, and work ethic they possess, and we know they will fit right into our team culture and help push us to grow every day. We know they will be excellent representative of the Green Wave both on the sand and in classroom, and we can’t wait to see them compete! Roll Wave!” said Zimet.
The new signees arrive as the program seeks to build on its recent success as the defending 2026 Conference USA champion. The Green Wave won that title last season, the first in the program's history.
The incoming class brings diverse athletic backgrounds to the roster. Alyssa Archiello, a 5-7 two-time state champion from Peoria, Arizona, is ranked No. 1 in her class at Sandra Day O’Connor High School.
Logan Leverte, a 5-8 athlete from Tiburon, California, is a two-time MCAL champion and currently ranks in the top 25 in her state. Sydney Scovic, standing 6-0, is from Lafayette, California, and is currently listed on the Junior Volleyball Association Watchlist 2026.
Tesa Solis, a 5-11 player from Houston, Texas, attends Memorial High School. Reyne Szabla is a two-time BVNE Beach Volleyball East Coast National Champion.
The program will participate in one more fall competition, the Tulane Pairs Tournament on November 20, before beginning its 2027 spring campaign and title defense.
The Green Wave schedule includes several exhibition events and tournaments. Upcoming matchups include the AVCA Pairs Qualifier at the Coconut Beach Volleyball Complex in Kenner, La., and the Houston Christian Tournament at the Third Coast Volleyball Club in Houston, Texas. The program will also compete in the LSU Fall Competition at the Death Volley Beach Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.
Other scheduled events feature the AVCA Pairs Championship in Huntsville, Ala., and the Purple vs. Gold Scrimmage at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium in Baton Rouge, La. The schedule also contains the Green Wave Invitational in Elmwood, La., the Tiger Beach Challenge at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium, and the MPSF Coast to Coast Classic at a location to be determined.
Further competitions include the UAB March to May in Birmingham, Ala., the Texas Invitational at the Wright-Whitaker Sports Complex in Austin, Texas, and the Death Volley Invitational at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium. The team is also slated for the Battle on the Bayou in Baton Rouge, La., the TCU Tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, the MPSF Championship in Huntington Beach, Calif., and the NCAA Championship in Gulf Shores, Ala.
