Wow! The devout fan that I am, I decided to not attend this match with UCLA and my alma mater because I didn't want to fight traffic, brushing this off as an easy win for UCLA. But of course, it bites me in the arse.
I am impressed. Anyone go to this match? What happened?

The Bruins are outblocked again. This team may be winning but we are not blocking well

It was a classic case of a struggling team coming to play a top team when it's on its "A" game, and the other is having an off night. I'll give the Tigers all the credit due them. They played out of their minds, especially in that first game. They'd have beaten the U.S. National team with the way they played. They could do no wrong... at the same time, the Bruins did a lot of things wrong. Daubers was just a freakn' stud in games 2 and 3. I've never seen such a devastating and consistent serve. When he wasn't acing, he was causing overpass after overpass.
The Bruins dodged a big one tonight. It was great to see them re-group and get it together after being beaten handily in the first two games, they found a way to come back to sweep the last three.
Congrats to UoP. They deserve a standing ovation.

ah man, it's so gutwrenching to see UOP come so close unexpectedly and fail to close out... 2 of the last 3 games lost by 2 points... Well even with the loss this match shows that the tigers have come a long way since last week's 3-0 massacre by USC.

Unbelievable!!!
Did UCLA take Pacific for granted? It doesn't look very good for the #1 team to go five with an unranked opponent.

Unbelievable!!! Did UCLA take Pacific for granted? It doesn't look very good for the #1 team to go five with an unranked opponent. Probably a lot of many factors. First and foremost, UoP deserves a LOT of credit for playing it's "AAA" game in the first 2 games. Don't take anything away from them for their performance. We all said, "where did this come from?" We'd played them twice before already this year and neither time did we see them play so well. But the Bruins re-grouped. They played a lot of different players, including a different setter. We seem to have a different line up every night. Continuity was off and on. As has been said very often, this league is loaded from top to bottom. The last place team is capable of beating the first place team. |
