After dropping the first match in the season opener against Holy Names, the Cal State East Bay women's volleyball team responded with three straight victories in the tournament to begin the 2022 season. During the tournament, the Pioneers played 19 sets of the potential 20. 

The Pioneers will look to carry their recent success into this week's NorCal Kickoff, a jointly hosted tournament by Dominican (Calif.) and Sonoma State. The three day, four match tournaments include the first match at Dominican, followed by two matches on Friday, and one final match in the tournament on Saturday, which is a rematch against Holy Names.
