Tonight, the UCLA men’s volleyball team begins play in the MPSF Men’s Volleyball Tournament when they host the Concordia Eagles at 7 pm PT.
Last Saturday, the Bruins wrapped up the regular season with a match against crosstown rival Southern Cal. Entering the day, UCLA needed Pepperdine to lose their match against Concordia and they needed to beat the Trojans in order to win the MPSF regular season title.
Well, neither happened. Pepperdine swept Concordia before UCLA’s match started, which made the Bruins’ match irrelevant. Then, UCLA went out and lost to Southern Cal in five sets, 25-19, 15-25, 25-14, 20-25, 11-15.
