2012 Week 6 Results

Today's results are going to include Tuesday's volleyball matches since I didn't have time to do a preview until this afternoon.  So lets get started:

Women's Volleyball:
If you missed the awesome match that was No. 8 Hawaii vs Cal State Northridge, then shame on you.  Northridge kept it not only close, but was leading the fifth set.  Hawaii tied it up and then took 4 match points to finally pull out the win.  After that, both teams took care of UCR.  On Friday, LBSU beat Cal Poly three sets to one, Northridge beat Fullerton 3-1, Hawaii swept UCR and UCI beat UCSB 3-1.  On Saturday, UCI swept Cal Poly, Northridge beat UCR in five sets, UCD won against Pacific, LBSU swept UCSB and Hawaii took five sets to knock off Fullerton.  Finally, on Tuesday, Pacific swept SJSU in their last conference match, and Bakersfield defeated Cal Poly in five sets.

Men's Soccer:
Call me crazy, but the Big West is looking good going into conference play, with two teams ranked, UCSB and UCR who meet this week (y'all should look at the preview our newest author gave for the game).  Onto the results: on Thursday, Fullerton dominated Air Force 2-0, while Northridge put up another five spot, this time on San Diego.  Friday was okay, as Gonzaga beat UCI, UCLA tied UCSB in a battle of ranked teams and Cal Poly beat Harvard.  On Saturday, Saint Mary's beat UCD and Northridge put up another multiple goal shutout, beating Air Force.  Finally, on Sunday, Oregon State beat UCI, UCSB beat Harvard, Sacramento State pulled out the win over UNLV in overtime, UCLA beat Cal Poly, Fullerton beat San Diego and UCR lost their first game of the year against Cal State Bakersfield.

Women's Soccer:
LBSU finished up this week with another tally in the "win" category and were rewarded with a No. 21 ranking in the NSCAA Polls.  The rest of the conference is split fairly evenly above and below .500, and that  parity looks to grow with conference play beginning this week.  Here are last week's final scores:  Pacific beat St. Mary's in double overtime on Thursday.  On Friday, Pepperdine beat UCSB, UCD blew out Lamar 4-0, UCR lost to New Mexico, future conference mates SDSU beat UCI, LBSU defeated San Diego and Santa Clara beat Northridge in overtime.  Finally, on Sunday, UCR beat Lamar 2-1, New Mexico beat UCD, Pacific defeated Arizona, SDSU continued its Big West rampage, beating UCSB, Fresno State beat Cal Poly and San Diego defeated Northridge.  Pre-conference standings are below:

	W	L	T	Pts.	W	L	T	Pct.
