Stanford moved up one spot in the AVCA poll from #19 to #18. LBSU dropped a spot, from #16 to #17. UCLA fell from #2 to #4.
Too bad Pepperdine got cancelled; a win could have helped Stanford in the poll, and a loss probably wouldn't have hurt. (Pepperdine went 0-2, but moved up from #10 to #9.)
Their next ranked opponents are #20 ASU (3/25) and #15 Arizona (3/27). Later, the first of three meets with Cal (#8) on April 3rd.
I was hoping they could crack the top ten this year, but it will not be easy. Of course, if they were to upset USC or UCLA later this Spring, that would help.
