The UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs may be
in Division 3 but as the top team in their division, they gave the Gauchos all
they could handle.
UCSB held on in three close games for
a 30-28, 30-28, 30-28 sweep of the Banana Slugs at Rob Gym on Friday night.
"Overall, I was a little bit
disappointed in our effort," Gaucho coach Ken Preston said.
Phil Matthews led the team with nine
kills, and Jake Rosener and Sam Moisenco
had seven. But the team committed 23 hitting errors.
"We shouldn't be making 23
hitting errors against a small team like that,"
UCSB (6-7) plays its alumni game
today at 5 p.m. at Rob Gym.
