An eerie sense of familiarity for the Bruin pack emerged at the 14-13 mark in the fifth set.

The Bruins are nearing their final serve of the regular season and potentially their 2023 campaign.
UCLA women’s volleyball (16-12, 8-10 Pac-12) will hit the road to Corvallis to face Oregon State (11-17, 6-12) on Wednesday, before returning to Los Angeles to see No.

Anna Dodson’s performance on the court holds an emotional undercurrent.
“Anna has tremendous heart,” said coach Alfee Reft. “And she’s OK wearing that heart on her sleeve.”
Since the redshirt senior middle blocker landed in Westwood in 2019, she has picked up two All-Pac-12 honors and an AVCA Pacific South All-Region mention and was named to the 2023 U.S.

The Bruin faithful held their bated breath as coach Alfee Reft challenged a call that could have allowed his squad to see a fifth set.
But when the challenge was overruled, the Bruins had failed to defend Pauley Pavilion from what could be their last time playing at home in 2023.

The country’s second-best team is on the slate for the Bruins’ final homestand.
UCLA women’s volleyball (16-10, 8-8 Pac-12) will host No. 2 Stanford (22-3, 15-1) and California (15-12, 4-12) on Friday and Sunday, respectively, in its last time facing off against its Bay Area adversaries as conference opponents.
