    I think it goes to show what bringing in schools like UCLA and others in any sport will increase attendance dramatically. I know that it's difficult to get the bigger name programs to come here to play though. Heck, I remember Jim Les saying that trying to get schools like St Mary's and USF on the schedule is difficult even if it's a road game.

    The Ags have gone 5-1 in conference play since their win over UCLA and they are now 10-5 overall. They are also currently tied for first place in the Big West standings. Yesterday they beat Hawai'i 3-1 in Hawai'i. It was the first time the Ags have beaten the Rainbow Wahine since 2013. The Ags are a very good volleyball team.

    Dan Connors has the team on a roll. The conference meet schedule is rugged but I do believe they have a chance to claim the title! GO AGS!

    Age win again vs CSUB.

    This team has defense and like many other team sports defense travels. A Saturday game at CSUN with the hope that the team patrols the net well again.
