While No. 3 Stanford held its ground at No. 15 Oregon as did No. 13 UCLA at Arizona State, there were three other highly ranked squads that weren’t so lucky in the Pac-12 Friday night showdowns.
Washington State (RV) held home court against No. 20 Colorado, winning in four sets. Arizona held off No. 12 USC in a sweep and No. 17 Utah earned its first-ever win in Seattle, edging an injured Husky squad 3-2.
