The Bruins are returning to Westwood and gearing up to serve off in front of stands adorned in blue and gold. Just as it has for the last few years, UCLA women’s volleyball (8-2) will open up Pac-12 play across the net from USC (6-4) on Wednesday night in an attempt to lock in its first victory of the season at Pauley Pavilion.
The Bruins and Sooners were deadlocked at 25 apiece in the fourth frame on Saturday. Two outcomes hung in the balance – falling victim to a series sweep or orchestrating a four-set victory to depart Oklahoma with a win.
The Bruins’ third consecutive road tournament will be marked by the inclusion of new staff and the right mentality. “I’d say my mentality as a player is, ‘What could I do as my job to make other people’s jobs easier?’” said sophomore outside hitter Carly Hendrickson.
Bruin blocks have secured another win. UCLA women’s volleyball (4-1) participated in the Long Beach State Tournament, where they conquered Indiana (3-3) on Friday and Long Beach State (2-3) on Saturday.
The Bruins are preparing to face old and new faces as they head back to the West Coast. UCLA women’s volleyball (2-1) will take on Indiana (3-0) on Friday and Long Beach State (1-1) on Saturday in the Long Beach State Tournament taking place just south of Westwood.
