UCSD Men’s Volleyball swept by third-ranked Brigham Young University In the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation men’s volleyball action Friday night at Smith Fieldhouse. Set scores were 25-21, 26-24 and 25-23.
With a third consecutive defeat, all in straight sets, on the heels of five wins in a row, UC San Diego drops to 5-8 overall and 2-7 in the MPSF. The Tritons are indeed receiving votes just outside of the national top-15 poll this week for the first time since January of 2014. BYU moves to 11-2 overall and 6-1 in league play.
The Tritons led as late as 13-12 in the opening set and 22-21 in game two, but the home side prevailed in both. They then inched to within one at 24-23 in the third with three straight, but the Cougars managed to convert their first match point.
Opposite and team tri-captain Tanner Syftestad led UCSD with 13 kills, hitting .333 (13-4-27). Fellow junior Milosh Stojcic finished with 29 assists, four digs and a kill.
Jake Langlois had a match-high 17 kills for BYU at a .353 (17-5-34) attack rate.

Supply Chain Guru Jimmy Anklesaria Funds Rady School’s First Endowed Presidential Chair
Faculty chair in innovation and entrepreneurship created through the University of California’s Presidential Match for Endowed Chairs to recruit and retain top-flight faculty
How do supply chain costs impact industry, including Fortune 500 companies?
“The answer to that question changed my entire career,” said Jimmy Anklesaria, one of the world’s most sought-after speakers on cost management. “In 1984 when I was in my early 30s, I was a chartered accountant (a CPA) with a law degree, earning an MBA after having worked for a few years as a C-level officer in a conglomerate owned by my family in India. I thought procurement, which was later called supply chain, was a low-level administrative function. Then a professor helped me imagine the financial impact of taking people who have strong backgrounds and are experts in business, finance and manufacturing, and making them responsible for procurement.”
Anklesaria’s passion and mission for the last 33 years have been to refocus industry and bring the supply chain profession to the level that it really deserves in an organization—a seat at the CEO’s table. That passion inspired the Anklesaria family to help establish the Jimmy Anklesaria Presidential Chair in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management. Endowed chairs provide a dedicated source of funds, in perpetuity, for the chair holder’s scholarly activities as well as support for faculty salaries and graduate fellowships. The funds provided by the Anklesaria family will be matched by the University of California Presidential Match for Endowed Chairs.
“Endowed faculty chairs are vital to UC San Diego’s efforts to attract and retain top-flight faculty,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “Donors like Jimmy Anklesaria ensure excellence on our campus today, and contribute to UC San Diego’s innovation and success for future generations.”
