Sara Elizabeth Hughes (born February 14, 1995)[4] is an American beach volleyball player. With teammate Summer Ross, she achieved a career-high world ranking of No. 9 in August 2018. Hughes has won three tournaments on the AVP Pro Tour, as well as a gold and a bronze medal on the FIVB World Tour.

Hughes began her beach volleyball training in Huntington Beach, California, at the age of eight. As a junior, she partnered with Kelly Claes to win bronze medals at the 2013 U19 and 2014 U21 World Championships. Her partnership with Claes continued through college, where the pair won 103 consecutive collegiate matches and led the USC Trojans to back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2016 and 2017. Soon after turning professional in mid-2017, Hughes and Claes became the youngest team to win an AVP event when they won the season-ending Championship. Hughes split with Claes in early 2018 and teamed up with Summer Ross. Hughes and Ross won their first World Tour title at the 2018 Moscow Open and finished seventh at the 2018 World Tour Finals.

Hughes is a defender and has been noted for her speed and willingness to chase down balls. She is the 2017 FIVB Top Rookie.

Early life and junior career

Hughes was born in Long Beach, California, to Rory and Laura. She has an older brother, Connor, and an older sister, Lauren.[4] Her mother is a former volleyball player[5] and both her siblings played the sport in college, with Connor winning two NCAA Men's Volleyball Championships with the UC Irvine Anteaters.[4]

Growing up in Costa Mesa, California, in a volleyball-playing family, Hughes regularly attended her siblings' practices and tournaments. During one such instance, a player's parent was impressed by eight-year-old Hughes' peppering and recommended her to local beach volleyball youth coach Bill Lovelace.[5] According to Hughes, she first came to love the sport when Lovelace praised her ball control as the best he had ever seen for an eight-year-old.[6] After a successful tryout,[5] she began training under Lovelace every summer in Huntington Beach until she was 15.[7]

A standout junior beach volleyball player, Hughes won numerous tournaments on the Amateur Athletic Union and California Beach Volleyball Association circuits.[7] From 2004 to 2012, she was mostly partnered with Justine Wong-Orantes,[8][9] playing as a blocker.[7] With Wong-Orantes, Hughes placed ninth at the 2011 and 2012 U19 World Championships.[7] She also finished fourth at the 2012 U21 World Championships with Summer Ross.[10] The following year, Hughes began playing with Kelly Claes and transitioned into a full-time defender.[7] The duo won bronze medals at the 2013 U19 and 2014 U21 World Championships.[5]

Hughes also played club indoor volleyball as the setter for Mizuno Long Beach, and was named most valuable player after her club won the 16-U Junior Olympics national championship in 2011.[11] She played indoor volleyball for Mater Dei High School as well and was the Orange County Player of the Year as a senior.[4]

College

USC players and coaches after winning the inaugural 2016 NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship

Regarded as one of the top high school recruits for both beach and indoor,[7] Hughes committed to playing beach volleyball for the USC Trojans in her junior year of high school.[12] Beach volleyball had just become an NCAA Emerging Sport for Women at the time[13] and Hughes decided to forgo collegiate indoor volleyball as "sand was [her] real passion."[12]

Hughes joined the Trojans in the 2013–14 season, partnering with Kirby Burnham as the top-flight pair throughout her freshman year. The duo won the AVCA Pairs Championship and recorded 42 wins and 4 losses by the end the season.[4] She was teamed with Claes as the Trojan's top-flight pair for the next three seasons. As sophomores, Hughes and Claes won the AVCA Pairs title and led the Trojans to their first AVCA National Championship,[5] completing the season with a 44–3 win-loss record.[4] In their junior year, they won the inaugural Pac-12 Pairs Championship and were named the Pac-12 Pair of the Year.[14] Women's beach volleyball was also promoted to an NCAA Championship sport that year,[13] and Hughes and Claes helped the Trojans win the first-ever NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship, defeating the Florida State Seminoles' top pair in straight sets in the finals.[15] They ended the season with an undefeated 48–0 record and were selected to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.[4] Hughes and Claes capped off a dominant year by winning the 2016 World University Championships without dropping a set the entire tournament.[16] As seniors, the duo repeated as Pac-12 Pairs Champions and were once again named Pair of Year.[14] They led the Trojans to their second consecutive NCAA title, coming back from a first set loss in the finals to beat the top-flight duo from Pepperdine.[17] Hughes and Claes completed their senior year with a 55–1 win-loss record,[18] amassing an overall record of 147 wins and 4 losses in their three seasons together.[19]

Between their sophomore and senior years, Hughes and Claes had a win streak of 103 collegiate matches,[20][21] losing just seven sets during this run.[22] Their streak began in April 2015[22] and was broken two years later in a three-set loss to a team from the Saint Mary's Gaels.[23] Hughes was named an AVCA Division I Collegiate Beach All-American in all her four years of college.[24] She graduated with a Bachelor's degree in business administration in 2017,[25] and earned a Master's degree in Entrepreneurship and Innovation the following year.[26]

Amateur career

While still in high school and college, Hughes competed as an amateur on the domestic and international professional tours.[6][27] Her first professional tournament result was a 17th place at the 2011 Manhattan Beach Open.[27] In October 2012, she debuted in her first FIVB World Tour event at the $190K Bangsaen Thailand Open, where she and teammate Kaitlin Nielsen lost in the first round of the country quota qualifier.[27] Hughes partnered with Lane Carico to win her first international event the following year at the $8K NORCECA tournament in Boquerón, Cabo Rojo.[10] She made her Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) debut playing with Geena Urango at the $75K Milwaukee Open in 2014, but did not progress past the qualifying rounds.[27] After partnering with Kelly Claes, her results improved over the next two years, highlighted by three more NORCECA titles and two AVP semifinal appearances.[27]

Their breakthrough came in June 2016, when Hughes and Claes narrowly lost to Olympians April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings with a score of 21–17, 18–21, 15–17[27] in the third round of the $75K AVP San Francisco Open.[6][20] Despite the loss, they eventually made it to the finals of the double-elimination tournament where they were defeated once again by Ross and Walsh Jennings.[27] Hughes and Claes were given a wild card entry into the main draw of the $400K Klagenfurt Major a month later, where they upset the top-seeded German team of Kira Walkenhorst and Laura Ludwig in the group stage, eventually finishing 17th;[27] Walkenhorst and Ludwig would go on to win gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics a few weeks later.[28][29]

Professional career

2017: Partnering with Kelly Claes

Hughes turned professional upon graduating from college in the summer of 2017,[19] and turned down a partnership with three-time Olympic gold medalist Walsh Jennings,[30][31] choosing instead to continue playing with her collegiate partner Claes.[29][32] In their first professional season, Hughes and Claes got their highest finish in international competition at the $115K Long Beach Presidents Cup exhibition event in July, beating Germany's Walkenhorst and Ludwig in the bronze-medal match.[33] Two weeks later, they were knocked out of the World Championships by eventual champions Walkenhorst and Ludwig for a ninth-place finish.[25] On the AVP Tour, the 12th-seeded pair won their first title at the $112.5K Chicago Championships in September, beating Brooke Sweat and Summer Ross in straight sets in the finals.[34][35] With this win, Hughes and Claes, aged 22 and 21 at the time, became the youngest team in history to win an AVP tournament.[34] On the World Tour, their best results were fifth-place finishes at the $150K Rio de Janeiro Open and the $300K Poreč Major.[27] Hughes and Claes ended the year ranked No. 16 in the world.[36]

2018–present: Partnering with Summer Ross

After ninth-place finishes in the first two World Tour tournaments of 2018, Hughes ended her partnership with Claes to team up with Summer Ross.[37] According to Hughes, she made the switch because she "needed to grow a little more as a volleyball player."[38] Hughes and Ross entered the AVP season as the top seeds, winning two of the four events they entered.[27] They won their first tournament together at the $100K AVP New York Open in June by defeating Nicole Branagh and Brandie Wilkerson in the final match in two sets.[39] The following month, they beat April Ross and Alix Klineman in three sets to win another AVP title at the $79K Hermosa Beach Open.[40] The duo were runners-up to April Ross and Klineman at the $125K Chicago Championships[41] and the $75K Hawaii Invitational in September.[42]

Hughes and Ross also reached their first podium on the World Tour by taking the bronze medal at the $150K Espinho Open in July.[43] The pair then won their first World Tour title the next month at the $150K Moscow Open.[44] Seeded ninth in Moscow, they upset three of the top five seeds, beating the second-seeded Brazilian team of Ágatha Bednarczuk and Eduarda Santos Lisboa in the gold-medal match.[45] After Moscow, Hughes and Ross were ranked No. 9 in the world, a career-best for Hughes.[46] They were awarded a wild card entry to the World Tour Finals in Hamburg at the end of the season, in which the eight top-ranked teams and two wild cards compete for the $400K prize pool.[47] As the tenth seeds in the Finals, they had wins over the top-seeded German team of Chantal Laboureur and Julia Sude and the eight-seeded Dutch team of Sanne Keizer and Madelein Meppelink. However, losses to the fifth-seeded Heather Bansley and Brandie Wilkerson of Canada and the fourth-seeded Maria Antonelli and Carolina Solberg Salgado of Brazil meant they did not progress to the quarterfinals, finishing tied for seventh place.[48]

Accolades

Hughes was voted the FIVB World Tour's Top Rookie at the end of the 2017 season.[49] She and Claes were named the Sportswomen of the Year at the 2017 LA Sports Awards, organized by the Los Angeles Sports Council.[50]

Style of play

Hughes is a defender and specializes in playing on the right side of the court.[1] Originally a blocker in her youth, she moved to the backcourt when she started playing with the taller Claes.[7] Known as a fierce competitor,[7][51][52] Hughes has been noted for her "speed and relentless pursuit of every ball."[20] Her USC head coach Anna Collier described her as "one of the fastest and smartest defenders," and complimented her ability to anticipate attacks.[19] According to three-time Olympian Holly McPeak, Hughes possesses the competitive drive, work ethic and athleticism necessary to compete at the professional level.[53]

Of the 87 players who competed in a Major Series main draw on the 2018 World Tour, Hughes ranked 33rd for total points scored, averaging 5.61 points per set; 25th for total kills, averaging 5.21 kills per set; and 40th for number of aces, with around four percent of her serves being aces.[54]

Personal life

Hughes' childhood idol was Misty May-Treanor,[20][55] and she grew up with a poster of the three-time Olympic gold medalist in her bedroom.[51] May-Treanor, who often trained in Huntington Beach when Hughes was young, would occasionally let the latter help with her practice sessions.[6][7] May-Treanor was later the volunteer assistant coach for the USC Trojans during Hughes' freshman year, and the two have formed a close relationship according to Hughes.[55] A ball girl at AVP tournaments in her youth, Hughes also came to know two-time Olympic medalist April Ross.[55] Ross, a fellow Costa Mesa resident, would invite Hughes to her practices when Hughes was in high school.[55]

When Hughes and Claes were just starting to compete on the professional circuits, their biggest challenge was not being able to afford a coach. As their tournament results improved, the pair received more financial assistance from USA Volleyball and began working with Volleyball Hall of Fame inductee José Loiola.[29] Since splitting with Claes in early 2018, Hughes and new partner Summer Ross continue to be coached by Loiola.[3] She is sponsored by Mikasa Sports, Oakley, KT Tape,[51] and Nike.[26]
