The Battle for LA: Part I. Also, the first Big West match.
Number of the Day
156 - UCLA and USC know each other pretty well. They are separated by less than 15 miles. But since it is LA, that might as well be a different state. Today’s match between the Bruins and the Trojans will be their 156th meeting all-time. UCLA has the overwhelming historical advantage at 108-47. But the last time these two teams met, USC came away with the W. Expect exceptional volleyball rom this match, because that is what we will be getting.
