    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.

    The AGS are now back in 1st place in the conference. Looking at the NCAA RPI the Ags are 81st in the country out of 346; pretty high. Here are some of the other schools in the conference based on the RPI, Hawaii- 50 Cal Poly-71st and Long Beach 73. I believe Hawaii is ranked high because of their home record and the challenges schools face competing there.

    Dan Connors and the team should be very proud of such a tremendous season.

    I will work on getting to their home game this Sunday at 1:00 against CSUB.
