UCLA women’s volleyball (8-2) is just days away from commencing Pac-12 play after locking in its strongest nonconference record since 2016. The Bruins will step foot in Pauley Pavilion for the first time this season, kicking off a four-game homestand on Wednesday before getting back on the road to head south to Arizona.
After introducing an entirely new coaching staff, UCLA women’s volleyball is gearing up for its 2023 campaign following a narrow miss of the NCAA playoffs last year.
The Bruins are commencing their season with a three-week road trip for the third consecutive year. Competing in this year’s Tiger Classic, UCLA women’s volleyball will meet LSU for the first time in over a decade Friday and Saturday, followed by a Northwestern State matchup Monday morning – the first in program history.
Nine months ago, the Bruins fell short of an NCAA playoff bid for the third time in a decade. This time around, Anna Dodson said there is no question regarding whether the squad can reach the national stage.
