UCLA's academic schedule is on a quarter system, therefore the Bruins did not begin classes until Thursday, Sept. 28. UCLA had already finalized its 2000 schedule when the Bruins were invited to the State Farm Women's Volleyball Classic, adding the nation's premier tournament to the team's pre-conference schedule. If you think that Presidential Candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore logged a lot of miles on the campaign trail, just take a look at the Bruins schedule during the first month of the season. Along the way, UCLA faced off against eight teams away from Pauley Pavilion that appeared in either poll at match time. Approximately 14,900 miles.
Many Bruins continue to move up on the school's career lists.
