MIAMI (May 1, 2020) - FIU beach volleyball's Italian duo of Margherita Bianchin and Federica Frasca were featured on ESPN.com Friday, as the pair spoke about their experiences at FIU and how they handled the cancellation of their season due to the COVID-19 outbreak. 

Below is an excerpt from the story by ESPN Senior Writer Andrea Adelson. 

"Margherita Bianchin and Federica Frasca played beach volleyball together years ago for Italy at the Under-21 European Championships, but one being from Rome and the other from Venice, the two went their separate ways after the tournament and that was that. Until Rita Buck-Crockett unknowingly brought them together again, giving FIU beach volleyball a transcendent pair to lift the program further than ever before."
