UCSD certainly have my attention so far. Good result for Cal Baptist, too (were Lewis maybe a little overrated in the preseason poll?).
I wrote up Stanford/Mason for my blog. Hope you don’t mind me fishing for a little traffic (I do link to you, FYI):

No problem.
The UC Irvine/UCLA match was really fun to watch as the Anteaters dominated the first two sets, but UCLA came back for sure! Kevin Tillie did not play due to sore knees; that was the rumor. Speraw and Kniffin met before the match of course and chatted! Kris Berzins of Loyola said they had 5 or 6 guys hurting with the flu, and his bro actually did not suit up. Wes, our CBU coach, said Lewis was “beat up” with injuries etc. I was impressed with UC San Diego against Long Beach State; as they played hard and well together; a great defensive effort. Andrew Sato really passed well and played great D. Talked to his Dad Gary for a awhile on Saturday, but did not go to Friday’s matches, due to work lol. Keep up the good work Vinnie; and thanks!
Great breakdown Mike. Thanks.
Long Beach won the match against UCSD in 5. You have it backwards. Thanks!

You have the UCSD/LBSU result wrong. The 49ers won the match by that score, not the Tritons.
You are correct. Thanks for letting us know. Score has been updated
