The Ags improve to 3-1 with a four set win over McNeese State (25-10, 20-25, 25-14, 25-16). Up next for the Aggies is #9 and undefeated BYU on Saturday at 4 pm Pacific time.

The Aggies should sneakily schedule a Sunday match-up with BYU and win by forfeit.

#9 BYU was much too strong for the Aggies today in front of a big crowd in Provo, Utah. The Cougars downed the Aggies 3-0 (25-15, 25-13, 25-11). The Ags (3-2) now trade to Pocatello, Idaho, for an 11 AM contest with Idaho State. This will be the 6th of 14 straight road games for the Aggies.

After starting the season with two impressive wins over two Power 5 conference teams, the Aggies have been struggling. They lost to Idaho State today in 4 sets (25-18, 23-25, 25-11, 25-23) in Pocatello. The Bengals were 0-5 coming into today's match and had only won one set so far this season.

The long road trip continues for the Ags and it doesn't get any easier as they travel to Los Angeles to play USC at 7 pm on Friday 9/8.

Meanwhile Sac is on a tear. Swept their second of two invitationals this past weekend.

Volleyball is a streaky game.

You have to wonder why the Aggies first 14 games of the season are all on the road? They've been on the road since August 25th and don't play in Davis untiI October 5th. I'm assuming that they simply can't get teams to come to Davis but I know some coaches feel like road games build team cohesion and toughness before the conference games start. However, if the Aggies continue to slump and lose a lot matches, it could be demoralizing. All of that travel has got to be tiring after a while and costly too so I'm thinking that many OOC teams just refuse to come to Davis.

The Aggies lost their first game of the Trojan Invitational by a score of 3-0 to USC (25-19, 25-19, 26-24) and fall to 3-4 on the season. 2022 national semifinalist San Diego is up next for the Aggies at 3:30 pm Sunday.

The Aggies played San Diego tough but ended up losing in 5 sets (10-25, 25-19, 19-25, 25-20, 9-15). The Ags play Marist tomorrow at 11:30 AM.

The Aggies stopped their 4 game skid with a 5 set win over Marist today (25-16, 25-9, 26-28, 16-25, 15-6). The Ags now head across the Causeway to battle Sac State on Tuesday, September 12th at 7 pm. This will be the Aggies 10th road game in a row.

Aggies defeated Sac State 3-1 (25-18, 25-19, 15-25, 25-21) in volleyball at Sacramento tonight. Nice time to get it together.

Great win for the Aggies. They've gone through a rough stretch lately and beating the Hornets in The Nest before 528 fans has got to feel good.

The Aggies stand at 5-5 on the season now heading into their first conference game at Fullerton on Friday at 6 pm. Go Ags!

The Aggies roared back from 2 sets down to defeat Fullerton in 5 sets (20-25, 21-25, 25-19, 25-17,
15-10) to win their first conference game. The Ags will continue conference play tomorrow at Irvine at 4 pm.

For the second straight day the Aggies came back from 2 sets down to win their second conference game in a row by beating Irvine in 5 sets (21-25, 22-25, 25-19, 28-26, 15-12). The Ags did the same thing yesterday beating Fullerton in 5 sets after dropping the first 2 sets (20-25, 21-25, 25-19, 25-17, 15-10).

The Aggies remain unbeaten in conference play with a 4 set victory over Bakersfield on the road (23-25, 29-27, 25-15, 25-15). The Ags are now 3-0 in conference play and 8-5 overall. They play their 14th straight road match at CSUN tomorrow afternoon at 3 pm.

It is so hard to keep coming back in Volleyball, but the team has grit. Coach Connor talks about how the team learns as the match occurs and then finds their flow and starts to win games. The hard part of being done is that if you have lulls the other team can win the match. They have been done0-2 twice in conference with their back to a cliff and have battled back. Good luck going forward thiey have a long season still.

The Aggies beat CSUN in today 4 sets (25-20, 25-20, 22-25, 25-20) and are now 4-0 in the Big West Conference which is their best start ever in conference play. The win is also the last of the 14 straight road games the Aggies have played this year. They finally return to Davis for their first home game of the season against Cal Poly at 6 pm on Thursday, October 6th.

The Ags lost a close match to Cal Poly last night in 4 sets (25-23, 18-25, 22-25, 25-27). The game was played in front of a good crowd of 802 Aggie fans. This was the first conference loss of the season for the Ags and they now stand at 4-1 in conference play and 9-6 overall.

The Aggies have a tough challenge ahead in their next match as they take on the current conference leader, UC Santa Barbara. The Gauchos are undefeated in conference play at 5-0 and are 15-2 overall. They are also receiving votes in the national rankings.

The match is scheduled for 1 pm in the University Credit Union Center on Saturday. Aggie fans who plan to attend the football game against Montana at 4 pm could start off the day with this volleyball game first and then head over to the football stadium. A big crowd would be a great way to support the Ags in their attempt to upset the Gauchos. Go Ags!

The Aggies dropped a tough 5 set battle with Santa Barbara (31-33, 20-25, 27-25, 25-16, 11-15) before another nice crowd of 707 Aggie fans. The Ags fall to 4-2 in the Big West standings while SB remains unbeaten at 6-0.

The Aggies got swept in straight sets at Long Beach (25-10, 25-19, 25-20) today. The Ags are now 4-3 in conference play and 9-8 overall.

The Aggies took down UC San Diego on the road in 4 sets yesterday (25-18, 25-18, 22-25, 25-22) to move to 5-3 in the Big West and 10-8 overall. The Ags return home to face Hawaii on Tuesday, October 17 at 6 pm in the University Credit Union Center.

The Ags lost to Hawaii in Davis 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-19). They now stand at 5-4 in conference play and 10-9 overall.

The Aggies got their first sweep of the season as they downed Riverside 3-0 in straight sets (25-22, 25-20, 25-13). The win brings their conference record to 6-4 and 11-9 overall.

The Aggies got swept at home by UC San Diego 3-0 (25-12, 25-14, 25-20) and are now 5-5 in the conference and 11-10 overall.

Ouch--by far the worse loss of the year. Hopefully Dan and team can rally still nearly half the league season in front of them. Would be great if they have a great second half of the season in league.

Volleyball can be such a streaky game. In August I watched Iowa beat Cal Poly, 3-1, at Sac State. Sac then beat Iowa 3-0. Ags beat Sac, 3-1, at Sac. So what happens when Cal Poly, (one of the few teams to lose to Iowa (8-14, 0-10 in the Big Ten.....) comes to Davis? They defeat the Ags, 3-1.

The Ags fell to visiting Long Beach 3-1 (23-25, 30-28, 19-25, 16-26) last night. The Aggies are now 6-6 in the Big West and 11-11 overall. The Aggies continue their stretch of home games against Irvine next Thursday, November 2nd at 6 pm.

The Aggies started their volleyball season back in August and played 14 straight road games before returning home for a stretch of home games but the home court has not been an advantage for the Aggies as they have lost 6 of 7 at home so far this season. The Ags finally broke into the win column at home with a 5 set victory over Fullerton 3-2 (25-23, 18-25, 25-19, 16-25, 15-9).

The Titans had only won one game this year and are 1-22 for the season and 0-14 in the Big West but they nearly pulled the upset. The Aggies now stand at 12-12 overall and 7-7 in the Big West.

The Aggies season came to an end in the first round of the Big West Tournament as they lost a very close 5 set match to Cal Poly (25-19, 25-15, 19-25, 22-25, 13-15). The Aggies are a very young team and they should be even better next year. The future is bright for Aggie volleyball.
