11/8-9/25 - UCSD Men's Club Volleyball - SDSU Invitational
This weekend, UC Slam Diego’s A-team came out firing on all cylinders, going undefeated on Saturday with a commanding 3–0 record. They opened play with dominant 2–0 wins over UC Berkeley B and CSUN B, setting the tone early with sharp execution and confident team chemistry. The highlight of the day came in their gritty three-set comeback victory over UC Davis A — a battle that tested both endurance and composure. In the decisive third set, Kenji Toombs delivered a massive service run that completely swung momentum in UCSD’s favor, sealing the match and energizing the squad.
On Sunday, the A-team entered the Gold Bracket with determination, facing a tough and highly competitive Arizona A team in the Round of 16. Despite a strong effort and relentless defense, UCSD fell short in a tightly contested match. The team showed incredible fight and unity throughout the weekend, proving they can go toe-to-toe with some of the best in the region. With continued growth and focus, they remain a dangerous contender heading into the next stretch of the season.
The B-team entered the tournament shorthanded but full of heart, showcasing their trademark resilience across every match. On Saturday, they battled through adversity using reserves to fill key positions — yet still managed to deliver scrappy, competitive play against top-tier opponents. They opened with a 0–2 loss to Arizona A, then pushed both UC Berkeley A and UVU B to three-set thrillers, narrowly falling short in each. Despite the results, the team’s grit and determination were evident in every rally.
Sunday brought another test as the B-team faced a scrappy UNLV squad, ultimately falling in two hard-fought sets. Even so, their effort and adaptability stood out, especially from Jameson, who stepped up to fill the setter role — a position far from his usual spot at outside hitter. His leadership and composure kept the offense steady and competitive throughout the weekend. The B-team continues to embody UC Slam Diego’s relentless spirit: no excuses, all heart, and an unwavering drive to improve every match.
