Men's Volleyball opens season 1-4
The Men's Volleyball team has
opened their season with a 1-4 record, with two of those losses coming
against Division I teams.
The team opened its season at
Stanford University playing well but eventually falling short in all three
games, 30-18, 30-19, 30-24. Sophomore Opposite Brian Gallagher lead the
team with 10 kills.
The team's home opener came
against Pacific University. Prize recruit Freshman Setter Matt Reynolds
dazzled the home crowd, finishing with 38 assists. 32 hitting errors would
doom UCSC, however, and the Banana Slugs fell against the Tigers in three
hard-fought games, 30-25, 30-25, 30-22.
The team then traveled to the
LaVerne Invitational, where they went 1-2. Last year's Western Regional
Champion La Verne beat the Slugs dispatched UCSC easily, as did NAIA powerhouse
Hope International. UCSC salvaged the trip by beating Division III rival
Stevens Tech in four games, hitting on a season-best 34.8% of their shots.
