I will be out of town this weekend (I know, terrible timing) so the commentary will be a little sparse. But never fear, I should be able to update all of the match data for your viewing pleasure.
So Penn State/UCLA was basically everything we could have hoped for. VBelo had this match as 50/50 and it sure looked like it could have gone either way. In addition to going to 5 sets, both teams scored exactly 102 points. UCLA hit .256% to Penn State’s .250%! Both teams even had the same number of service errors (23). If the rest of the matches in the Outrigger are even half as exciting, it will be an amazing tournament.
