Long Beach Versus Hawaii Highlights Top Men's NCAA Matches
Another big weekend of NCAA men's volleyball action is here!

It's still early in the season, but every match counts. Here are four must-watch matches to tune in for this weekend. 

No. 8 Hawaii at No. 7 Long Beach State

Friday, January 20, 7 PM PT

Hawaii and Long Beach State faced each other just two days ago. The Rainbows Warriors looked downright dangerous in the first two sets of that match, holding Long Beach State to a .286 hitting percentage in set one and .143 in set two. But Long Beach executed an impressive comeback to win the match in five. In their rematch, will Hawaii get revenge, or will Long Beach State hold on to its momentum?

No. 10 Stanford at No. 5 Pepperdine

Friday, January 20, 7 PM PT

Pepperdine and Stanford both had disappointing showings last weekend, with Stanford losing twice in a row to No. 1 Ohio State, and Pepperdine losing its first match of the season to Lewis. This MPSF matchup could have major implications come conference playoffs.

No. 4 Lewis at Penn State

Friday, January 20, 7 PM ET

The Nittany Lions are feeling good after upsetting Loyola earlier this week and are hoping to pull off another unexpected victory over Lewis on Friday. For their part, the Flyers took down Pepperdine last weekend. Will Penn State's home court advantage help it get Ws over both Chicago-area teams?

No. 6 Loyola at George Mason

Saturday, January 21, 7 PM ET

Loyola let its match versus Penn State slip away earlier this week, and the visiting Ramblers will be looking for redemption when they take on George Mason on Saturday. George Mason's only loss so far this season came at the hands of defending champion Ohio State. Otherwise, the Patriots have swept each of their opponents. This may be the first chance for us to see what the reigning EIVA champions have in their arsenal.
