Longest Set Women’s Volleyball ends season strong. SCM Staff 27 Mar 2018 The Santa Clara women’s volleyball team clearly didn’t want their season to end. Playing their final match of the year, the Broncos topped St. Mary’s 46–44 in a marathon third set—and established an NCAA record for most points scored in a set under current rules.
