CORVALLIS, Ore. – The 2026 Cascade Collegiate Conference Beach Volleyball Championship, presented by U.S. Bank, is set to begin Thursday, featuring a four team, double-elimination tournament hosted by regular season champion Southern Oregon University.

All matches will be streamed live on the CCC Network on UEN. Full championship details, including the schedule and results, can be found on the CCC Championship Page.

No. 2-ranked Southern Oregon earned the top seed and hosting rights after finishing the regular season at 16-2 overall and 14-1 in conference action to claim the conference title.

No. 3-ranked Corban University secured the No. 2 seed, posting a 20-5 overall and 13-2 CCC record. The Warriors, who were selected as the CCC preseason favorite, are led by the conference’s top pair of Emmi Marks and Emma Bischoff, who hold an impressive 23-2 record this season.
