Hawaii gets revenge. USC doesn't. GLVC opens conference play. There is just so much volleyball!
Number of the Day
50,524 - Coming into yesterday’s matches, there were 50,524 total points scored by National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball teams. That is a lot of points. That doesn’t even count the D-III and NAIA teams that have played against D-I/II opponents. If I had to bet, I would say we will cross the 100,000 point mark before the end of the season. When you add in other divisions, we are probably looking at 150,000+ points of volleyball!

Now that Conference play has started everywhere those preseason polls across the land and sea will become a little more interesting. Lindenwood was given little chance as was Manhattan in the NEC. UCSB was also outside looking in. Fascinating stuff as we move through the beginning of March.
