It wasn’t beautiful volleyball today, but the Bruins played like champions in beating a tough opponent that kept UCLA from establishing a good attacking rhythm.
The team will look much different next year, but it has enough talent to be in contention for a third straight national championship in 2025.
122 would make my day, and my baseball team lost by 23 and 11 today.
Saying it is difficult to make me happy rn
