Utah State vs. No. 2 Arizona State Volleyball

UC Davis vs. Cal Poly Volleyball

As the play-by-play broadcaster for Blaze Radio’s volleyball coverage of Arizona State’s NCAA Tournament second-round match against Utah State, I led live commentary for a high-stakes matchup in one of ASU’s strongest seasons. Without printed live stats and limited pre-match material, I relied on extensive pre-match research of team trends, player data and tournament history to deliver accurate analysis. I coordinated closely with my color partner and producer to manage pacing, transitions and set recaps. The broadcast drew strong listener engagement and higher average stream duration compared with Blaze Radio’s previous postseason volleyball coverage. We also produced pregame and postgame video segments for social media as well as a full NCAA Tournament breakdown.

As the solo play-by-play broadcaster for Cal Poly’s ESPN+ volleyball broadcast against UC Davis, I provided both play-by-play and color commentary for a key Big West rivalry match.

I also researched prior matchups to deliver accurate, insightful analysis throughout the broadcast. I coordinated live with the production crew to align commentary with graphics, replays and the overall story of the match. My comprehensive preparation and on-air adaptability contributed to increased viewer engagement compared to previous Cal Poly home broadcasts.

Working closely with producers, I coordinated pacing, segment transitions and in-match analysis to maintain an engaging flow. The broadcast drew increased listener engagement and longer average stream duration compared with previous Blaze Radio volleyball broadcasts.
