What to know: No. 6/5 Stanford will look to continue its defensive dominance against No. 4/4 Hawai’i and complete the two-match series sweep. The Cardinal held the Rainbow Warriors to a season-low .064 attack percentage and had 10 blocks in a series-opening sweep Friday. Hawai’i entered the opener only trailing Stanford for the best attack percentage in the MPSF but hit less than .100 in the last two games, including a zero attack percentage in the final game. Stanford middle attacker Conrad Kaminski finished with both a match-high five blocks and 11 kills on a .600 attack percentage. In addition, the Preseason All-American started the week among the conference leaders with a 1.42 blocks per game average and a .452 attack percentage. Along with Kaminski, middle attacker Kevin Rakestraw led all players with three aces against Hawai’i. Stanford had eight aces in the sweep and finished with a .389 attack percentage. It also was the fifth time in the last six matches that the Cardinal hit more than .330. Despite the loss, Hawai’i outside attacker Sinisa Zarkovic had 10 kills to extend his streak to 12 consecutive matches with double-digit kills. The Rainbow Warriors have not won at Stanford since 2012, including losing the 2015 NCAA Tournament play-in match at Maples Pavilion.

In addition, Johnson led all players with 21 kills on a .621 attack percentage, four aces and 10 digs as No. 9/10 Ohio State swept No. 5/6 Loyola on Friday.

Hahaha….UCSD playing a top team (UCLA), but they’re so bad that they don’t even get a write up. I think Ring has to go. I know he has a disadvantage of not having the 3 1/2 scholarships to offer, but they’ve been MPSF doormats for about 3 straight seasons now.
Despite our lack of write-up, don’t count out UCSD. The team is continuing to improve. May not win tonight but some wins will come in the future under a really good coach in Ring.
