In the middle of hard-fought wins and tough losses, it’s nice for a team to get the occasional easy victory.

The UCLA men’s volleyball team may not have dominated their opponent, but at least they found a way to win. Though they were facing a Stanford team (3-10, 2-7 MPSF) ranked 11th in the league, the Bruins’ victory was never assured, as the Cardinal stayed with UCLA for most of the match. With the 3-1 […]
