Pepperdine Shines, Bruins Struggle Pepperdine continued to roll over the weekend, confirming that their No. 1 ranking is deserved. They once again handled CSUN, beating them 3-1. Seems the Waves have hit their stride. CSUN beat USC for the second time this season, clearly continuing their dominance over the Trojans with their 16th consecutive win in the match up. The Matadors moved back up the ranks of the AVCA Coaches Poll to No. 3 this week. Worst weekend honors go to UCLA. The No. 3 Bruins got skunked 0-3 by both No. 9 Long Beach State and No. 14 UC San Diego. UCLA falls two spots in the poll while Long Beach jumps up three spots.

AVP Announcements Minus One Two big news items out of the AVP this week. The Tour named beach VB legend Mike Dodd the league's new commissioner. He'll be responsible for overseeing "all competition, athlete welfare and sport development." Also, the 2010 tour schedule is out and it lists 12 event locations for this summer. No tourney scheduled as yet in Las Vegas this year to the chagrin of many fans and a few less tournaments than last year. Some of the details are less than solid, but it is good news that they are moving forward. One announcement that they didn't make was who their new title sponsor will be since Crocs pulled out last year. With the start of the season right around the corner that could mean trouble. Beach volleyball fans should hope that's the next announcement we hear. AVP Announcements Minus One originally appeared on About.com Volleyball on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at 11:08:52.
A Weekend of Splits Four of the teams in last week's top five dropped an unexpected match last week. The only exception was No. 2 Stanford which won both matches against UCSD and Long Beach State in four sets. The rest of the field faltered a bit. No. 1 Pepperdine lost to BYU 1-3 on night one and then came back the next night for their revenge with a 3-0 win. CSUN squeaked by Hawaii on night one beating them in five sets, but struggled in a rare afternoon match the next day, losing in three. I think they'll be sticking to night games from here on out. UCLA handled Lewis 3-0 but turned around and lost to UCI 1-3. This is the third loss in four matches for the Bruins, so they may see a lower rank this week. The other squads should benefit from the across the board losses so I don't foresee the standings changing too much today.

A New Number One Trouble at the top this week. CSUN and USC have dropped out of the top three in the AVCA Coaches Poll for the first time in the regular season. With losses to UCI and UCLA, Northridge drops to 11-4 on the season and tumbles from the No. 1 spot. After three weeks at the top, the Matadors now sit at No. 5. Just behind them is former No. 3 USC. After last week's loss to No. 2 Stanford, they fell three spots to No. 6. And with that, Pepperdine finally gets to take a turn at the top, grabbing the No. 1 ranking for the first time this season. Now we'll see if they have what it takes to stay there. The only team that didn't benefit from taking down a top team last week is UCI. Despite beating the former No. 1 team in four sets, they remain at No. 11. Expect that to change in the coming weeks. A New Number One originally appeared on About.com Volleyball on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 11:24:49.
Would the Real Deal Please Stand Up... The number one ranking has changed for the third time this season in men's volleyball, but the coming weeks will make it clear who the real top team is going into the playoffs. It's the battle of the formers on Wednesday. Former No. 1 CSUN meets former No. 3 USC. Now ranked five and six respectively, the game has lost a bit of its luster, but should still be a good battle as they both teams attempt to turn things around. Then on Friday, former No. 1 CSUN will take on current No. 1 Pepperdine which could show us which team is currently the real deal. Here are the other matches to keep an eye on this week: Wednesday, February 24th Friday, February 26th Saturday, February 27 Would the Real Deal Please Stand Up... originally appeared on About.com Volleyball on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 11:42:33.
