Top-ranked Pittsburgh (7-0) and No. 10 Kansas (8-0) are now the only unbeaten teams in the AVCA top 25 after the Jayhawks knocked off No. 6 and previously undefeated Purdue on Thursday.
Syracuse (10-0), Arizona (10-0), Washington (9-0) and Texas A&M (8-0) also won Thursday.
The only other unbeaten among the big four conferences is Michigan (9-0) .
Three other undefeateds won Thursday, UConn (10-0), South Dakota State (9-0) and San Jose State (7-0).
Most of those teams are in action Friday and so is 9-0 Tennessee Tech, which plays twice.
In this Volleyball Today, we recap the top matches and list the key performances, including a career-high 22 kills by London Davis in the four-set victory by Kansas over visiting Purdue.
But the line of the day: No doubt on this one, because Nina Cajic had a program-record 42 kills for Tennessee in its four-set victory over Western Michigan. She had four errors in 76 attacks to hit .500 and had an assist, 13 digs and four blocks, one solo.
Three other ranked teams won — No. 14 Arizona State, No. 17 Minnesota and No. 21 USC — and No. 25 Arkansas got swept at Miami.
We’ve also got the CAA schedule because that league starts conference play on Friday.
