WSU played a second match against Eastern Washington yesterday and won in 5 sets. (Previous contest they won in 4). They move to 3-2 on the season. Watched some of it. WSU was streaky with good play and then error proned play, but if they can clean up those error streaks they could continue to rack up some good win streaks.

I hope someone says something to San Diego about their streams. No audio most of the time even when it looks like someone is calling the game. I don’t even think anyone was calling the UCSB game at all. Watching the lackluster video with no sound is painful. I would think since WCC has a contract with ESPN this would be better quality and sound required.

St. Mary's lost a really close match vs. CAL 2-3, though they played well. If they keep that up they will do well in conference play.

Pepperdine lost to Stanford 3-1 last evening in Malibu. Pepp had some periods of very nice play (and Stanford looked sloppy at times). It's possible that Pepperdine could go undefeated through the WCC this year, though I think there are a handful of teams that can possibly sneak a win from them.

I am happy I can still see Oregon State play when they make their southland WCC swing.
WSU and OSU would have been better off staying in the Pac 2 or 6 configuration.
THE WCC will get the automatic invite to the playoffs but getting an extra bid is not in the cards this year.

OSU went with a 6-2 today, maybe trying to decrease their serve receive issues, but still wasn't enough to overcome Texas St. OSU lost 0-3. OSU hopes to have their DS back, who is in a boot, and their freshman OH, who is much better at passing soon, but them returning could be out another few weeks or so.

Ohio U giving LMU all they can handle in these first two sets is surprising to me.

My computers are migrating and I only have phone to follow but it looks like OSU was swept with an average set score of 20.
LMU barely took set one in extra points, lost set 2 and are getting murdered in set 3. They still have the possibility of taking the match, though.
BYU took the first set 26-24 over San Diego.
Portland comfortably swept Seattle, as expected.

LMU looking like they can push this to 5...at set point in the fourth.
BYU and San Diego tied at 1-1

LMU beat Ohio 3-2 with a 15-10 fifth set that was very long, due to multiple challenges.
San Diego was down 10-17 to BYU in the third set, but closed it to 20-21 before ultimately losing the set 22-25. They are now down 2-1. I wonder about USD keeping Beach in the back row...maybe they figure if she sweats it out, she will be very good by her last couple of years.
