LOS ANGELES - On Senior Night, senior Reily Buechler led the Bruins with 22 kills to go with eight digs, while senior Sarah Sponcilย had a double-double with 51 assists and 15 digs, adding four blocks, but the 18th-ranked Bruins dropped a four-set decision to #15 Utah on Friday at the John Wooden Center in a match featuring 43 ties and 18 lead changes. Set scores were 22-25, 26-24, 28-30, 19-25.
Junior Zana Muno produced 26 digs, freshman Jenny Mosserย had 16 kills and six digs and sophomore Madeleine Gates posted 13 kills and just one hitting error in 24 attempts for a .500 hitting percentage to go with five blocks.

UCLA (16-9, 9-7 Pac-12) scored the first four points of the match on kills by Buechler and Gates and two Utah (19-8, 10-6 Pac-12) errors, extending its lead to 5-1 after another Buechler kill. Four would be the Bruins' largest lead of the set. After the lead changed hands a few times, the Bruins, trailing 13-12, scored four straight on back-to-back Buechler kills, one by Mosser and a Utah attack error. UCLA led by a pair as late as 20-18 before Utah went on a 7-2 run to close out the opening set and win it 25-22. Mosser was error-free with six kills in 10 attempts, Buechler also had six kills and Gates was error-free with three in seven swings. Munoย added six digs. The Bruins and the Utes each hit .263.
Neither team led by more than three in a second set featuring 13 ties and five lead changes. Down by three at 21-18, the Bruins scored three in a row on two Utah errors and a solo block by Rogers. UCLA was still down by one at 23-22, but another Rogers solo stuff and a combo block by Rogers and freshman Mac May gave the Bruins a set point. Utah saved the first try, but consecutive Buechler kills closed out a 26-24 victory. Buechler had six kills with no miscues in 14 attempts, while Gates and Mosser each posted three kills. Simoย added five digs. The Bruins out-hit the Utes .196 to .176.
Set three went into overtime with 14 ties and six lead changes. Utah raced out to a 5-1 lead, but saw UCLA go on an 8-2 run to take a four-point edge of its own. Down 8-5, five Ute errors, solo blocks by Sponcil and Rogers and a Mosser kill put the Bruins up 13-9. With UCLA up 22-21, three in a row for Utah gave the visitors a pair of set points, but a Buechler kill and a May/Gates block evened things at 24. Another Buechler kill saved set point number three to tie it at 25 and kills by Buechler and Mosserย then gave UCLA a set point at 27-26. Utah recorded the next two, but UCLA saved a fifth set point on a Gates kill to even the score at 28. However, Utah got the next pair and won the pivotal third 30-28. Buechler and Mosser each had six kills in the third, Gates was 3-for-3 in attempts, Muno added nine digs and Sponcil posted five digs, as the Bruins out-hit the Utes .191 to .023.
