I'm surprised that Cal swept WSU. I assume Holt continuing to be out with an injury was the difference. Am surprised too. Looking ahead next season, Cal loses Schonewise, Vucasovic and 2 more DS. That really doesn't bode well for a team that is struggling to get wins, more so losing a lot of star players to injuries (Smith-Gooden, Rennie) and losing the recruiting battle to Stanford, USC and UCLA. Feller must be feeling the pressure right now. Wow...I guess we can't let him celebrate the win! Losing Schonewise and Vukasovic will hurt, but they get Smith-Gooden and Rennie BACK from injury, plus the freshmen get a year under their belt. We shall see...I do remember reading all the doom and gloom for UCLA due to Karsta's graduation...how's that working out? I suggest we wait and see. In the meantime, congrats on the win.

I have been to Pullman once in my life. imagine a quiet town. Pullman is the only true "college town" in the PAC.

It's a huge difference to suddenly lose your 4 kills per set OH, and have to sub a low percentage hitting freshman. The concussion 'bug' seems to be striking more and more players each year. Hope Holt is back soon.

USC missed a golden opportunity by failing to publicize Samantha Bricio, a truly special player, to the L.A. community. I think that last year, before the start of her Junior year, they should have promoted Samantha and USC volleyball to the large Mexican and Mexican-American community of the greater Los Angeles area. These are passionate fans who would love watching Samantha, if they only knew about her and her amazing talent. They would be coming to the Galen Center in droves to see her play and they would take amazing pride that the best player on the USC Women of Troy (who is now the best college volleyball player in the country) is a young woman from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico like so many now in L.A. USC really dropped the ball on this one and her USC career will be done in less than two months. Curious by your comment, I sleuth around and found this: www.wearesc.com/forums/forum/main-category/other-usc-sports/744512-latina-power-samantha-bricioFor a school in a major "media city", USC sports Information Department ( is there such a thing?) is a total failure at marketing their superstars outside football and basketball. Although I was told in one of the home matches, Bricio was mobbed by 100+ high school students afterwards asking for autograph.
