All quiet so far today. Wanted to start a new thread just because. Not sure how good the two Big West teams are this week. UCSB has lost its last 6, including being swept by San Diego State last match Cal Poly 8-3 but really hasn’t played anyone.

http://www.avca.org/divisions/division-one-women/poll-9-21-2015/ Top five remain the same: Penn State, Texas, USC, Nebraska, Florida. Helping everyone move up was Wisconsin dropping from 11 to 16. The Beach breaks through at 25.
