Lauren Van Orden cheered on her hometown team, the Denver Broncos, on Sunday as quarterback Tim Tebow almost orchestrated a comeback victory against their division rivals, the San Diego Chargers.

Following a string of games where they looked almost untouchable, the UCLA women’s volleyball team showed their humanity this weekend, stumbling against Arizona after sweeping Arizona State the previous night.

The team visited the desert hungry to extend its win streak, but met some unexpected resistance in the form of an even hungrier Wildcat team that upset the Bruins in five sets.

Leading the attack for UCLA was junior outside hitter Rachael Kidder, who had 26 kills and 14 digs against the Wildcats and 14 kills, five digs and four blocks against the Sun Devils.

The UCLA women’s volleyball team hopes that its hot streak stays aflame as it goes on the road to face the schools in the desert.

If last weekend’s games were an opportunity for the No. 2 UCLA women’s volleyball to showcase its stability and its stars, this weekend was a demonstration of the team’s versatility and depth.

Competing in an unfamiliar place is a difficult experience, especially when this new place is filled with spectators cheering against you.

With a long two-game road trip to Utah and Colorado looming, No. 2 UCLA women’s volleyball took a second to relax and celebrate its upset wins over Pac-12 foes Stanford and Cal.
