LOS ANGELES – The No. 21-ranked USC women's volleyball team (9-3, 1-1 Big Ten) opens the month of October with a pair of Big Ten battles at Galen Center this week. The Women of Troy take on Michigan (12-1, 2-0) on Friday (Oct. 4) at 7 p.m. PT and then face 12th-ranked Minnesota (8-4, 1-1) on Saturday night (Oct. 5) at 8 p.m. USC earned a split in its first weekend of conference play with a five-set win over Ohio State and a straight-set loss to No. 2 Nebraska on the road. The Trojans have won six straight at home since falling to top-ranked Pittsburgh in their home opener on Sept. 11. USC is 31-5 in 36 home matches since 2022.
 


While Minnesota was five setting UCLA, Southern Cal was reverse sweeping Michigan
 

I think the Volleyball match should have gotten the prime time slot on Big Ten network. Let football start at 10:00.
