Looks like a strong squad! The Big West will be a battle with LBSU, Cal Poly and Hawaii this year.

[herewegobru]

UCLA has their 2018 schedule up:

www.uclabruins.com/schedule.aspx?schedule=1511

The East Meets West event should be really good, with UCLA/USC/Pepperdine/Hawaii playing TCU/LSU/Florida International/Florida State. That's six teams that went to Gulf Shores last year.

[johnbar]

And Stanford has posted its schedule (though someone should have proofread it):

www.gostanford.com/schedule.aspx?path=bvball

Maybe this has been mentioned already, but I see Stanford is hosting the Pac-12 Championships.

Stetson announces 2018 Schedule - gohatters.com/news/2017/12/7/beach-volleyball-announces-2018-schedule.aspx

"Preseason practice starts in January. (...) Stetson will open the season earlier than ever. (...) The defending ASUN Conference champion are scheduled to play at least eight matches against 2017 AVCA Top 15 teams."

They dont have their schedule or roster up yet but,
Jordan Anderson & Kimmy Gardiner are a couple of Dawgs this year.

In addition to the Pac-12 Championships (Apr 26-28 at Stanford), there is a Pac-12 North Tournament in Seattle on Apr 14 & 15 (Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Washington, and, oddly, USC). And a Pac-12 Southern Invitational on March 24 & 25, with UCLA, Arizona, ASU, Washington(?) and Cal(?), at Santa Monica. Someone has some odd ideas about geography.
