First place in the Mountain Pacific Sports...

First place in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Mountain Division will be on the line when Pepperdine plays host to UCLA in a men’s volleyball match at 7 tonight at Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu.

Pepperdine (5-2, 4-1) is ranked fifth in the American Volleyball Coaches Assn./USA Today poll and the Bruins (4-2, 4-1) are ranked fourth. Both teams are tied with UC Santa Barbara for first in the Mountain Division.

There will be extra incentive for Pepperdine setter Kurt Nelson. Nelson, a backup at UCLA, transferred to Pepperdine at the start of the spring semester.
