Volleyball hosts UC Irvine today
The UCLA men’s volleyball team will host UC Irvine at Pauley
Pavilion tonight.
The Bruins, who have never lost to the Anteaters en route to
compiling a series record of 17-0, look to continue their
dominance.
The Bruins are 2-0 at Pauley Pavilion this season and hope to
continue that winning streak. In both of the matches played at
Pauley this year, UCLA has swept its opponents in three games.
Despite the outcome of tonight’s match, attention will be
focused on Friday’s showdown against Hawaii. The Rainbows, who lost
to UCLA in the NCAA finals last year, have struggled this
season.
Due to early Mountain Pacific Sports Federation losses to UC
Santa Barbara and Pepperdine, UCLA needs to pick up a win against
Irvine tonight and Hawaii on Friday. Both matches will play an
important role in shaping the playoff picture at the end of
April.
Agent to speak
Leigh Steinberg, an agent who is one of the most powerful men in
sports, will be on campus at noon today to speak to students at the
Anderson School’s Korn Hall.
Steinberg will be lecturing about the business of sports.
