If first year Cal Poly head coach Sam Crosson takes joy in small victories, he may have allowed himself a fleeting smile on Friday evening. Up against 8th ranked Hawai’i, Crosson’s Mustangs followed a familiar pattern, falling behind 2 sets to none. But then, the Mustangs did something they haven’t done much of lately — they avoided the sweep by winning a set off the Wahine.

Though they ended up losing the match 3-1, the set victory against a highly-ranked opponent is a small bright spot in the midst of a 1-15 season.

Also, there was a soccer game afterwards. The Mustang men lost 1-0 to Cal State Northridge. I included some pictures from there as well. More pictures from the soccer game and another story coming soon.
