UCLA and the CBVA put on a first class event today and tomorrow in the shadow of the famed Manhattan Beach Pier.
It was festive, well signed/banners, court dividers, pole covers ( thanks SM ) and first class ref squad.
The level of collegiate play has risen each year and today there was talent on display from every team.
LSU took UCLA deep, with E. Zappa helping to close out a 3rd set in the match tie breaker in front of a great crowd.
USC showed they had some depth with 2 players out and 4 of 5 teams shuffled. Putting down both FIU and LSU handily.
I'd say a new "big" to watch blossom is T. Cannon a 6'4" power house that played 2's with Nick Martin for USC. Numerous aces through two matches and a cannon arm swing.
Watching Todd Rogers work his crew was fun . They won a big match today 4-1 with a strong showing at 1's.

Very good second day as well. Pepperdine and FSU were tied 2-2 with teams 2 through 5 finished, so it all came down to a 3rd set on the premiere court. The entire beach crowded around the top court to see Pepperdine pull one out (it might have been extra points even).
UCLA had a makeshift lineup due to an injury to Savvy Simo but managed a 3-2 win over FSU as well. The west overall had a very good weekend. Cal Poly pulled some nice upsets and Georgia State will probaby slide quite a bit in the polls. They looked very unimpressive for a ranked team. LSU ate some losses but looked better than GSU and FIU.

For UCLA, does anyone know why Zana Muno hasn't been playing? Or why Reily Buechler and Ivey Schmitt got taken off of the rosters? All solid players, but mostly wondering about Muno who is still listed on the roster, and is a stud on sand.

All solid players, but mostly wondering about Muno who is still listed on the roster, and is a stud on sand. Muno has an injury, likely done for the season from what I understand. Don't know about the other two.
