A few Pac 12 upsets yesterday - UCLA sweeps Stanford, USC beats California (and Utah beats Washington). I wouldn't be surprised to see Pitt #1 come Monday. Texas might get a few #1 votes too.

Despite having 5 losses on the season (6-4 in Big10), #20 Purdue could pass us this week as they just upset #5 Nebraska.

The VB team takes on FIU this afternoon at Tudor. Nice crowd on hand.

When the powers that be couldn’t get the electronics to work for the National Anthem, the VB Owls lead the crowd in a spirited singing of the Star Spangled Bannner. Gotta love these Owls!

Genny wins her 1st challenge to allow the Owls to pull even at 8 in the 1st set.

FIU takes a timeout as Rice takes a 15-12 lead.

Owls not particularly sharp in 1st set and FIU came to play. Owls up 20-17.

20-19. TO Owls.

Lots of service errors and other unforced errors.

Must be Willowbrook Volleyball Day. Lots of WVB Tshirts.

Tied at 22.

24-22. TO FIU

Owls win 1st set 25-22

Three service aces by Tabitha Brown and the Owls are up 6–1!

18-16 Owls. Another tight set.

18-17. TO Owls.

Rice not looking like a top 20 team right now. Shouldn't be this close.

Nope. It shouldn’t. 20-21.

Maybe not. Genny is challenging something.

Call stands. 20-21.

Rice loses a challenge. 20-21.

20-22. TO Rice.

The streak of sets is over. 22-25.

I like Anita serving. Rice starts the 3rd set on a 4-0 run.
