This NCAA update includes the latest from the AVCA — both polls and POWs — a DivisionI women’s hire, and the Division I-ii men’s schedule and results.
AVCA MEN’S POLL: After a most upset-free week, things basically stayed the same in the top 15. Hawai’i, UCLA, Penn State and Long Beach State stayed 1-4. UC Irvine is still No. 5, but the team tied with it last week, Grand Canyon, dropped to sixth.
No one dropped out.

AVCA MEN’S POW: The national player of the week is UC Irvine junior Francesco Sani. In two victories over CSUN, Sani had 34 kills — 23 in the second match — and hit .397. He also averaged 1.33 digs.
AVCA BEACH POLL: The top four stayed the same, but while TCU is still No. 1, USC moved up a spot to second, Florida State a notch to third, and UCLA fell two spots to No. 4.
Not only did LSU stay at No. 5, spot 5-12 are identical to last week’s poll. Arizona dropped out and North Florida moved in at No. 19.
