Number of the Day
000 - Last night’s match between UCLA and Hawaii started out very one-sided. Through the first two sets, the Bruins were able to keep the Hawaii pin hitters to a combined .000 hitting percentage. Three high-volume hitters not being able to positively contribute in the kill column is wild. Set 3 was a different story, for multiple reasons, but doing this at all is impressive.
