Fresno State and Montana return nearly all of their starters, though Fresno State won their conference tournament in a tougher field last year. Oregon State and Grand Canyon lost several starters from last year but brought in some solid transfers. Those transfers will be critical to the success of those teams.

Lopes up 2 sets on OSU. Lopes just better defensively. I know it's nice to have back row hitters, but Light's passing is a problem for the Beavs in this match, and setting/2nd balls haven't been placed well. Beavs are missing their usual libero, White, right now. Also, Lopes' Frey playing very strong, 10 kills 0 errors.

Beavs start the same lineup in set 3. Not smart. DS Light please.
