What to know: No. 11 Stanford less than 24 hours after pulling off a stunning road upset against No. 1/1 BYU will now have to try to repeat the feat.

What to know: For UC Santa Barbara to continue one of the nation’s longest winning all it needs to do is pull off a feat it has never accomplished in the rally scoring era and beat UC Irvine on the road.

However, UC Santa Barbara is on the nation’s second longest winning streak at five matches, including a sweep against UC San Diego in Friday. Preseason All-American setter Jonah Seif has also guided the Gauchos offense to at least a .340 attack percentage in the last three matches. UC Irvine suffered its second consecutive loss as it lost conference opener to No. 2/2 UCLA in four games on Friday. All-American outside attacker Tamir Hershko in the loss finished with a match-high 20 kills on a .436 attack percentage. In addition, Hershko has led the Anteaters in kills in the team’s first three matches to open the season.
