FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno Pacific volleyball team went on their first road trip of the 2021 season on Saturday, traveling to Hayward, Calif. for matches against Chico State and Cal State East Bay. The Sunbirds pushed the Wildcats to four sets before dropping the match 3-1 (25-19, 25-22, 15-25, 25-20) and were swept by the Pioneers 3-0 (25-15, 26-24, 25-10).

"This weekend was such a great opportunity for our team to play against top-notch CCAA teams both at home and on the road. We have learned a lot and can't wait to get some rest these next couple of days and get back at it next week. The future is bright for our program." – head coach Shasta Millhollin.
