USC def Cal 3-0
UCLA def Stanford 3-0
very good weekend for the Bruins, which is a very good thing for the Wahine
What has happened to Cal recently? Didn’t they lose two this weekend?
Cal lost to UCLA yesterday.
yes, which is why I said good weekend for the Bruins
it’ll be interesting to see the rankings on monday
I hear you. The top five lost at least one match this weekend. UCLA ranked #6 won both matches, but they have a total of three losses while Illinois has a total of two. I guess votes will be divided whom to award the #1 and #2 rankings. It’s a toss-up.
Idaho def. NMSU3-1 25-14 in Sets 3 & 4
Fresno State def. San Jose State 3-1
Utah State def. LaTech 3-0
Wasn’t too surprised by by the Idaho win against New Mexico State. Idaho looked impressive against the Wahine with its blocking and floor defense. Fresno State win against San Jose State was not surprising either. Fresno looked bad in the first match against the Wahine, but it showed significant improvement in its subsequent matches, particularly in its rematch with the Wahine. WAC teams are relatively weak but they proved that they are not automatic doormats when actually playing the matches. They provided the Wahine with some needed tough competition in some of the games.
