CORVALLIS, Ore. - The Oregon State volleyball team has been in full swing for nearly a week and is preparing for the Beavers' annual Orange and Black Scrimmage, which is set for Saturday at Gill Coliseum. The scrimmage is free to attend and it starts at 7 p.m. PT.

The scrimmage is an opportunity for Oregon State fans to see the team in action for the first time this season.

The Beavers return 11 letterwinners from last season and head coach Taras Liskevych welcomes six newcomers, including four freshmen. Among the returners are starters Camille Saxton and Arica Nassar, who were both named All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention last season.

Nassar was also named to the league's all-freshman squad.

Prior to the scrimmage, OSU fans are invited to meet the team Friday night at 6 p.m. The Beavers will be at the Loge level of Reser Stadium in free season kick-off celebration. Cost is $20.
