There is just so much volleyball this weekend. Just the scores and projections for now, but I will try to get to some notes put together with highlights, historic wins, and stunning upsets soon. I hope you get a chance to enjoy some amazing volleyball today.
Number of the Day
7 - UC Irvine and BYU gave us an absolute battle yesterday. The Anteaters prevailed in a reverse sweep. We also had the uncommon situation where the losing team scored more total points. BYU outscored UCI by 7 points (110-103) but still fell. This is the largest losing point surplus this season.
