Thank you to MPSFvbfan for posting this on an earlier thread. What I had posted last night was based on something I had been told prior to Saturday’s match. It was not completely true. UH only holds the tiebreaker over UCLA of the teams that could be in the mix (and BYU of course, but that won’t come into play), neither would Pepperdine, even if UH wins both). the best Hawaii could finish is 15-9. USC is done playing for […]
It does make things very interesting in the standings. Hawaii now in a there-way tie for sixth with Long Beach State and UCLA. USC is sitting in ninth and done for the regular season at 14-10. UCSB and UCI tied for fourth. Warriors finish out with 2 at Pepperdine. UCLA hosts Cal Baptist and BYU. Scheduling quirk has Long Beach State at home Thursday against CSUN then at CSUN Saturday. Northridge is playing well at the moment, the 49ers have […]

You had a feeling that if UH could just keep its serve in the Warriors would have a chance. Win has UH tied with UCLA for eighth. Averill came up big at the end with key blocks and Zarkovic played himself out of an early slump. BYU seemed to become very disorganized after losing Set 3 and the doubts crept in. Saturday should be fun. Here’s my online story. Brook Sedore put down a match-high 17 kills and No. 10 […]
