In addition, the Bruins also played No. 13 Cal Poly and No. 23 Baylor.
NEWS AND NOTES
The Bruins are two wins away from 1,300 in program history ... senior Zana Muno has 1,253 digs in her career, putting her eighth in UCLA history. Next up on the list are Ashley Bowles (7th, 1,269), Bojana Todorovic (6th, 1,275) and Nellie Spicer (5th, 1,299) ... the Bruins had 22 blocks in the Sept. 2 victory at then-No. 19 San Diego, their highest total since Nov. 8, 2007 against Oregon State. This century, UCLA has five matches with at least 20 blocks, with the 22 at USD ranking third on that list ... the Bruins, who have dropped nine of their 11 second sets, are 6-0 when winning the third set of a match, as well as 6-0 when winning set four ... UCLA is 5-0 when leading the match in hitting ... the Bruins are 4-0 when leading in blocks ... UCLA is 3-0 in five-set matches ... senior Kyra Rogers, who leads the team with 12 block solos, has at least one in 10 of 11 matches, producing at least four blocks in eight of 11 contests. Offensively, Rogers has at least six kills in all but two matches ... sophomore Jenny Mosser has double figures in kills in eight of 11 matches, recording a season-best 19 against Gonzaga on Aug. 26. She has five double-doubles and has also served an ace in six of 11 contests ... freshman Devon Chang has five double-doubles in her last seven matches.

She put the libero jersey back on in the middle of the California match, as she went over 20 digs (25) for the fourth time this season ... redshirt freshman Alexis Light entered Sunday's match at California with 18 career kills in 23 sets, but she went for a personal-best 19 kills at Cal. She hit .405 for the match, with 14 of her kills coming in the three UCLA set victories ... junior Kylie Miller set new career highs in assists (41) and digs (22) at Utah on Sept. 21, which resulted in her first double-double of the season and seventh of her career.

She has double figures in kills in eight of 11 matches. May is just as effective behind the baseline, as she has an ace in eight of 11, including two on six occasions and a pair in four matches in a row ... junior Madeleine Gates has at least seven kills in all of her matches, including double figures in six of them. She has just 21 hitting errors in 11 matches, swinging .300 or better in eight of those contests. Defensively, Gates has at least five blocks in five matches, including a career-high 11 at San Diego.
