LOS ANGELES -ย Senior Reily Buechler (14 kills, 12 digs), senior Sarah Sponcil (40 assists, 17 digs) and freshman Jenny Mosser (12 kills, 11 digs) all had double-doubles, but the 13th-ranked Bruins dropped a four-set decision to #6 Washington on Friday at Pauley Pavilion. Set scores were 25-18, 20-25, 22-25, 15-25.
ย
Junior Zana Muno recorded 15 digs, sophomore Madeleine Gates had nine kills, junior Kyra Rogers added eight kills, sophomore Savvy Simo tallied six digs and freshman Mac May posted six kills. The Bruins hit .193 for the match.
ย
UCLA (8-4, 1-2 Pac-12) dropped five of the first six points of the match, but would come back during the middle stages of the opener to take the first. Still down by as many as four at 9-5, the Bruins scored seven of nine to take their first lead of the match at 12-11. Rogers had a pair of kills, Buechler and Mosser each recorded one and Washington made three hitting errors. After a sideout by the Huskies, six in a row for the Bruins on three Buechler kills and three UW errors put the home team up by a half a dozen.
ย
The Bruins' largest lead of the set was eight at 22-14 following a Rogers/Mosser block. On their second set point, a Mosser kill finished up a 25-18 victory. Buechler and Rogers each had four kills in the opener, while Muno and Sponcil both notched six digs. The Bruins out-hit the Huskies .294 to .108.
ย
Washington (13-1, 3-0 Pac-12) led from start to finish in set two, racing out to another 5-1 lead. The Huskies' largest advantage was seven on a few occasions, as the Bruins scored back-to-back points just five times in the set, dropping the second 25-20. Mosser had four kills in the set, Gates and May each tallied three and Sponcil recorded seven digs, as the Bruins were out-hit .282 to .225.
ย
Just like the first two sets, Washington stormed out to a 5-1 lead in the third, and just like the second, the Huskies didn't trail. Washington led by as many as seven on a few occasions. Down 20-13, the Bruins scored five in a row on two Buechler kills and three UW errors to get to within two, but UCLA would get no closer, dropping the set 25-22. Buechler recorded six kills, Mosser added four and Muno and Simo each totaled four digs, as the Bruins were out-hit .361 to .244.
ย
Washington copied things in the fourth, again taking a 5-1 edge in the set and leading wire-to-wire. The Huskies' largest lead was 13 at 24-11. The Bruins saved three set points on a Washington error, a Rogers/Sponcil block and a Mosser kill, but the Huskies claimed the fourth by a score of 25-15. Gates recorded four kills, while Buechler had six digs, as the Bruins were out-hit .241 to .000.
ย
The Bruins finish their four-match homestand on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Pauley Pavilion, hosting Washington State. The match will not be televised, but free live video and audio will be available at UCLABruins.com.
