UCLA women’s volleyball was points away from logging its most impressive victory of the year. And despite being outscored by 13 points, the Bruins scrapped their ways into a five-set match.
Yet they came out short against a talented Stanford squad.
The Bruins (16-10, 9-8 Pac-12) failed to notch a win against the Cardinal (24-3, 17-1), even though they swept them last season in two games. Unsurprisingly, Stanford is headed for yet another Pac-12 title this year.
Meanwhile, UCLA is in the midst of a down year compared to the previous few seasons. The Bruins already have 10 losses, which is more than they accumulated in 2016 and 2015.
