The AVCA Division I-II Men’s Volleyball Poll showed very little movement this week.
Long Beach State, Hawai’i and UC Irvine stayed 1-2-3 as the Big West continues to dominate the top 15.
Pepperdine and UC Santa Barbara moved up a spot each as UCLA dropped two notches to sixth. The rest of the top 10 shows Loyola, Stanford, BYU and Lewis. No one dropped out as numbers 10 through 15 stayed the same.
