The AVCA was busy this week as the coaches organization had not only its weekly NCAA men’s volleyball poll, the player of the week, but also its preseason NCAA beach poll.
Two NCAA women’s indoor programs, including North Carolina, hired coaches and another lost one.
And men’s season continues, highlighted by the first MPSF match of the season.
AVCA MEN’S POLL: This week’s top 15 saw the most movement this season. Hawai’i is still No. 1, but UCLA jumped two spots up to No. 2. Penn State stayed at No. 3 and Long Beach State dropped two notches to fourth.
There were no huge leaps or drops, but seven other teams had movement. UC Santa Barbara finally dropped out and Charleston, which is 11-0, moved in at No. 15.

AVCA POW: The national player of the week is UCLA freshman Andrew Rowan, the setter who took over the job fulltime when reigning MPSF player of the year Miles Partain left the team. Rowan averaged 11.0 assists per set, one blocks and one dig in two victories over Long Beach State.
AVCA BEACH POLL: UCLA is No. 1 in the AVCA Collegiate Beach Preseason Coaches Poll.
The season…
