VOLLEYBALL: Tech Takes Azusa for Win

FROM PAGE 9 match in two games, 15-8, 15-7. The third match was against Southern California College, who had not done well at all in its previous matches against Pomona and Azusa Pacific. How­ ever, the SCC squad was fired up against Caltech, and the Caltech squad knew that the match would not affect its first place seeding in the pool. The laxity of Caltech's play was evident in the numerous er­ rors it committed, none ofwhich were evident in its earlier matches, and it gave the match to SCC in two games, 8-15, 6-15. Coming in first in its pool, Caltech then went on to play the second seed team from the other division, Cal Poly Pomona.
