The final collegiate game of an athlete’s career can carry immense pressure and intense emotions.
For the Bruins, the regular season ended on a bittersweet note, as seven seniors and graduate students likely played their last match, concluding their journeys with a loss on home court.
The Bruins’ last set of the regular season looms around the corner, possibly signaling the end of their 2024 season.
Returning home for its last two conference games, UCLA women’s volleyball (13-14, 7-11 Big Ten) is set to face Iowa (10-20, 4-14) and No.
November means many things for Bruin fans – homecoming, the battle for the Victory Bell and the final stretch before winter break.
But for UCLA women’s volleyball (13-14, 7-11 Big Ten), November’s end means the season’s final road series.
The transition into the Big Ten has tested the Bruins in their first season in the conference.
And in its last road trip of the season, UCLA women’s volleyball (12-13, 6-10 Big Ten) is set to face Indiana (12-14, 5-11) and Illinois (17-9, 9-7) on Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Saturday’s contest offers the Bruins little to lose – but perhaps something to prove.
Inching upon their final five games of the season, there’s no escaping the inevitable – the Bruins will likely not reach the postseason.
Just six opportunities remain for the Bruins to evade a .500 finish to the season.
With a chance to turn the page on a loss to a bottom-of-the-barrel Maryland squad, UCLA women’s volleyball (11-12, 5-9 Big Ten) has an opportunity to rebound with its first of a two-game homestand against Washington (18-6, 8-6) at Pauley Pavilion on Wednesday night.
