Huskies Jump To No. 7 In AVCA Rankings

With a 3-0 record at last weekend's Pittsburgh Blue & Gold Invite, the Husky volleyball squad saw its first real gains of the season in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Top-25, moving up two spots to seventh. That is a new season high for the 11-0 Dawgs.

Washington moved ahead of Illinois and Texas, both of which suffered losses this past weekend. Stanford remains No. 1, nearly unanimous, with a 9-0 record. The upcoming Pac-10 season is loaded with intrigue as usual, as five of the six undefeated teams in the AVCA Top-25 call the Pac-10 home. Stanford, No. 6 USC, No. 8 California, and No. 15 Oregon are all unblemished through non-conference action.

Opening weekend of Pac-10 play will feature the Huskies and Cougars traveling to the Oregon schools, the Bay Area schools visiting the Arizona schools, and UCLA on the road at USC.
