VBelo Daily: March 01, 2025
We made it to March and volleyball just keeps heating up. I can't wait to see all of these conference battles.
There was just so much great volleyball yesterday. February was far too kind to us, in terms of great matches. I can only imagine what March is going to be like. Hawaii finished out the month with a big statement by sweeping UC Irvine to open Big West play. There is going to be a lot of attention given to the Big West and a lot of talk about at-large bids. I want to make sure the other 8 conferences aren’t forgotten though, because there is highly competitive matches all around the country. What time to be a volleyball fan.
