Our Men’s A team made their presence known at the annual UCI preseason tournament. Playing a roster filled with new faces and undeveloped chemistry is no easy task, but UC Slam Diego took on the challenge.

Starting pool play off against UCR’s A team, we split sets, finishing 1-1 due to no third set being played. It would go similarly against USC’s A team, splitting 1-1. We ended pool play by taking both sets from UCI’s B team 2-0 and having a record of 4-2. This put us third in our pool going into bracket play.  Our first match in the bracket was against UCI’s A team, who boasted home court advantage. Our Tritons would take the first set in a dominant fashion, but the Anteaters came back triumphantly in the second. The third set ultimately went to the Anteaters, and though upset, we Tritons were happy with the future potential of our team. UCI’s A team would go on to win the tournament.  UC Slam Diego is back and better than ever! The SCCVL will learn to fear the ones they call the Tritons. We eagerly await a proper rematch against the teams that bested us this weekend, for you may have won the battle, but we will win the war!
