It's hard to imagine keeping a team at the #8 spot that is 3-10, with 3 of their 4 wins against Concordia and Vanguard.  Two thorough losses against LMU and a single narrow victory over #15 Long Beach State.  I think the next two weeks will shake this out, and unless the can beat either LMU or GCU in upcoming matches. With their record, Pepperdine should be in the mid-teens right now at the most.

This weekend is a big one for pretty much every single top 10 team.  Should be exciting all around, especially in L.A. where the best of the east and west face off!

No. 1 USC, No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 LSU, No. 4 UCLA set for high-level NCAA beach volleyball weekend. “These programs are strong from top to bottom,” USC coach Dain Blanton said. “You’re scrapping, you’re clawing, trying to get a point at any position that you can. We believe that it’s going to be a big challenge, and I think that our athletes are up for that challenge.”

That is the most dominant performance I’ve seen by Dennis since she was a junior. She was phenomenal in that match.

Streaming stopped in the middle of the final match. "USC produced" fiasco again. While UCLA has streams from each court and top-notch commentary.

The stream came back on for the third set, at least it was back by 7-5 when I checked again.

Good effort by FSU to take dual #2. Pairs 2 and 3 were obviously affected by Julia Scoles’ absence.

Tough loss for USC even with Scoles out. I wasn't impressed with Slater's defense compared to what I was seeing from Nuss and Simo in their match up.
