The Ohio State men’s volleyball team is back to #1 of this week’s top-15 after sweeps over Fort Wayne and #11 Ball State.

Former #1 Long Beach State drops to #2 after falling to #3 BYU 3-2 in their first match to them, but revenging their loss with a sweep over the Cougars in the second match of the weekend.

The only other change of this week’s top-15 came with USC jumping one position to the #11 position after rolling through Concordia in three. Ball State fell to #12 after dropping both of their matches this week – first to McKendree and then to Ohio State.

Also receiving votes, but not enough to enter the top-15 are Grand Canyon and King. The Lopes split decisions against Princeton this week, falling in their first meeting in five but taking the victory the following day in four. King is riding a 14 match win streak, having only dropped two matches all year.
