The UCLA men's volleyball team swept of pair of matches against CSUN on the opening day of the Fall Invitational in SAC Gym on the campus. Coach John Speraw split his Bruin team into two squads for the exhibition matches and both delivered wins over the Matadors Friday night. Play will continue on Saturday in the SAC Gym where admission is free, but seating is limited.
The 2018 regular season begins for the Bruins on January 3rd with a matchup against New Jersey Institute of Technology from the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA). That weekend, the Bruins will host the Wooden Classic Tournament with teams from UC San Diego (Big West), King University, which tied for first place in Conference Carolinas last season, and McKendree University from the Midwestern Collegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA).
On January 18-20, UCLA hosts the annual Pac-12 vs. Big Ten Challenge in Pauley Pavilion. The Bruins will welcome two-time defending NCAA Champion Ohio State (MIVA), Penn State (EIVA) and USC for the Challenge matches. All four teams in the Challenge own NCAA Men's Volleyball Championships.
The Bruins will play this season in the revamped Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) and open league action against the two new members on February 8, with a match at Concordia, Irvine, before heading to play at Grand Canyon on February 10. The Bruins will still square off against traditional foes UC Irvine (now in Big West), CSUN (Big West) and UC Santa Barbara (Big West). The first home league match of the season is set for February 14th in Pauley against USC. MPSF league matches with Pepperdine, Stanford, BYU and non-league battles versus Long Beach State (Big West) and George Mason (EIVA) fill out the schedule. The NCAA Men's National Collegiate Volleyball Championship returns to Pauley Pavilion on May 3 and May 5.
