Looks like it might be at San Jose State ten years ago (2005) since our last conference series shutout?? We've battled back a few times since then to avoid a sweep. I might have missed one so don't take that quick 2 minute research to be AlamedaMike research quality.

I thought UAB swept Rice fairly recently at UAB.

The last in-conference sweep does indeed appear to be San Jose in 2005. Last 3-game sweep of any kind was Stanford in 2011. This OD series is the sixth time in 10 years that we've lost the first two games and bounced back in the 3rd: 2013 Memphis and UCF, 2012 Stanford, and in 2011, Memphis and Cal (4 game series).

Nice work -- and a pretty good imitation of AlmadenMike :)

Our team needed this win badly.

Thanks NYNightOwl! I'm happy that others are searching/finding/presenting these sorts of historic facts, too.

Since 13th Owl had thought thought UAB might have swept us ...

I thought UAB swept Rice fairly recently at UAB.

... here are our past-years' records vs the Blazers:

2014: 3-0
2013: 2-1 @UAB-LWW (plus a win in our first match of the C-USA Tourney)
2012: 2-1 (WWL)
2011: 1-2 @UAB-WLL (plus a loss in our first match of the C-USA Tourney)
2010: 3-0
2009: 1-2 @UAB-LWL (plus a win in our second match of the C-USA Tourney)
2008: 3-0 (plus a loss in our first match of the C-USA Tourney)
2007: 3-0 @UAB.
2006: 3-0

The Blazers have never swept us.

Thanks for the research. Can't trust my memories when it comes to the UAB series it appears. Again, thanks.
