LOS ANGELES -ย Senior Sarah Sponcil recorded a double-double with 34 assists and 15 digs, while senior Reily Buechler, who surpassed the 1,500-kill mark, finished her UCLA career with a 4-0 record at the Galen Center, as the 19th-ranked Bruins swept #13 USC on Saturday. Set scores were 25-18, 28-26, 26-24.
ย
Buechler (10), freshman Jenny Mosser (11) and sophomore Madeleine Gates (10) were all in double figures in kills, with Buechler adding seven digs and Mosser posting five. Junior Zana Muno had 11 digs, sophomore Savvy Simo posted nine, freshman Mac May recorded six kills and junior Kyra Rogers had four kills and no errors in nine attempts (.444).
ย
The Bruins (19-10, 12-8 Pac-12) only trailed twice in the opening set at 2-1 and 3-2, as three in a row on a Buechler kill and two USC attack errors put the visitors up for good. After a sideout, four straight on kills by Gates, Mosser and Buechler and a Trojan attack error made it 9-4. At 14-12, a 7-1 Bruin run busted it open, as Gates, Buechler and Mosser had kills, Sponcil and Gates combined on a block and USC made three errors. Nine would be the Bruins' largest lead at 23-14 and 24-15, as an attack error on UCLA's fourth set point wrapped up a 25-18 win. Buechler led the Bruins with seven kills, while Gates and Mosser each had three. Sponcil posted seven digs to go with her 11 assists and Simo added four digs, as the Bruins out-hit the Trojans .222 to .020.
ย
With USC (22-9, 14-6 Pac-12) leading 6-5 in set two, a 5-0 Bruin run on two Mosser kills, one apiece from May and Sponcil and a Trojan service error put UCLA up 10-6, a lead it would not relinquish for the rest of the set. At 13-9, a Mosser kill and a Buechler solo block would give the Bruins their biggest lead of the second at six points. UCLA would hold a 24-21 edge before USC saved all three of those set points. A Gates/Sponcil block gave the Bruins a fourth set point, but USC countered, while a Trojan service error made it five set points, but again USC evened things up. Another Trojan service error at 26-all earned the Bruins a sixth set point and Buechler closed things out with a kill to win the second 28-26. Mosser posted four kills in the second, while Buechler and May each had three. Muno added five digs. The Bruins were out-hit .250 to .154.
ย
Set three featured 12 ties and six lead changes. USC was up 14-11 before a 6-2 UCLA run on two Mosser kills, two Rogers blocks, one with Mosser and another with Sponcil, and two Trojan errors made it 17-16. USC would go back ahead and lead as late as two at 21-19, but five of six for the Bruins on kills by Buechler, Gates and Sponcil and two USC errors gave UCLA two match points. The Trojans saved them both, but back-to-back errors by USC gave UCLA a 26-24 victory. Gates led the Bruins with five kills, while Mosser added four. Sponcil recorded five digs to go with her 13 assists and Simo added four. The Bruins were out-hit .262 to .250.

The Bruins will learn where their NCAA Tournament journey begins on Sunday when ESPNU airs the Selection Show at 6 p.m.
