Pepperdine wins 31-29, 30-22, 30-32, 30-22, 15-11.
Dayton had a whopping 17 service aces vs. 10 errors.

Holy crap, I totally turned the tracker off when Dayton was down 0-2. Also, Faye Barhorst wasn't listed in the stats, did she play?

Gametracker listed Barhorst with 9 kills.

Hmm, she's not on my stats. It cuts off at Schroeder. Oh well, nice effort by Dayton. They could've used 2 wins this week to have a shot at an at large bid

Wake up and smell the kneepads, folks. Pep ain't that good, and that tells us a lot about many other schools -- including UCLA.

Hey, UCLA's probably better than Minnesota -- although it's close.
They just aren't as good as everyone here seems to think they are. The point was: they are beatable. Very beatable.

UCLA is the most vulnerable of the AVCA's top 5.

I lthink that Pepperdine is an incredibly fascinating team....they can be good and they can be pretty awful.....probably due to just how they match up with their opponents....if you can run a quick offense you will beat them 9 out of 10 times I suspect.....

I think there inconsistencies are a matter of the youth in leadership positions on the floor. When they are serving and passing well, they are a tough team to beat ... but then again, so is every other team.

What I find fascinating about Pepperdine is all the assumptions that have been made about their _opponents_ based on their matches with the Waves.
They are a worthless measuring stick, for exactly the reason Beachman gave: their inconsistency. Even so, the #4 team in the country should not be going 5 with them. No?

UCLA is the most vulnerable of the AVCA's top 5. You may be right, but I think they are among the 5 best teams in the country right now. If you look at the Top 10, UCLA is not the most vulnerable of that group. Personally, I'm not too sold on Washington yet. What quality road wins do they have? On their own court, they've been outstanding ~ which is why I pick them to advance from their regional, but I don't expect them to advance to the Championship match.
