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.
Anna Dodson had one thing to say after the Bruins’ trip to Hawaii. “We are playing a new style of Bruin volleyball,” said the redshirt senior middle blocker.
The Bruins washed out the Rainbow Wahine on Sunday night. UCLA women’s volleyball (7-1) closed the Outrigger Volleyball Challenge by adding a third win in as many matches over Hawaiʻi (5-3) in the Stan Sheriff Center to clinch the tournament for the second consecutive year after defeating Pepperdine and Liberty on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
With a four-game winning streak cushioning its only loss in the 2023 books, UCLA women’s volleyball is continuing its season on island time. The team will travel to Honolulu for the Outrigger Volleyball Challenge, facing Pepperdine, Liberty and Hawai’i over the course of four days in an effort to repeat last year’s sweep of the same tournament.
