Number of the Day
3 - It’s that time of the year where teams are finishing their regular season. While most teams still have another match or two, 3 conferences have completed their regular season and we know their tournament brackets. Additionally, IVA is basically done, but we don’t know what their tournament will look like yet. But here is what we do know! (More to come on these tournaments and some projections…)

Today’s Match Projections
MPSF
UCLA (100%) vs Menlo (0%)
What is amazing to me is the depth of the volleyball around the nation. There are talented athletes at every programs and sometimes they stand up and have amazing matches. Those under recruited or place holders at other programs are having their star turns.
April will be wild.
