TEMPE, Ariz. - Sophomore Mac May paced the 25th-rankedย Bruins with 19 kills, sophomore Jenny Mosserย was error-free with 15 kills to go with five digs and five blocks and senior Zana Munoย added 25 digs, as UCLA knocked off Arizona State in four sets on Friday at Wells Fargo Arena. Set scores were 18-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-23.
Junior Kylie Miller tallied 35 assists, nine digs, four blocks and two aces, setting the Bruins to a .322 hitting percentage in the final three sets. Senior Kyra Rogers had nine kills and tied a career high with seven blocks, junior Madeleine Gates added eight kills and eight blocks, junior Savvy Simo recorded 11 digs and freshman Sawyer Aigner-Sweseyย registered seven digs.
Arizona State (13-16, 4-13 Pac-12) led wire-to-wire in set one, winning by a score of 25-18. May recorded five kills in the opener, while Muno added five digs. The Bruins were out-hit, .333 to .147.
The Bruins (13-11, 8-9 Pac-12) hit .500 in set two to even the match. The second featured a dozen ties and a trio of lead changes. Trailing 15-13, the Bruins scored three in a row on back-to-back May kills and one from Rogers to go up by one. Despite three more ties, UCLA didn't trail for the rest of the set. Even at 19, the Bruins scored six of the next nine points to win the second by a score of 25-22. The last two points came on kills by Gates and Rogers. May notched six kills, Mosser added four and Rogers posted three. Muno had five digs.
Up 10-9, the Bruins scored four of five on two Mosser kills and kills by Gates and Light to go up 14-10. UCLA led 18-12, but four in a row by Arizona State shaved the deficit to a pair. However, a 7-2 run for the Bruins to close out the set gave them the 25-18 win. The first three points came on back-to-back May kills and a Miller ace. After an ASU sideout, three consecutive blocks by Rogers, the first two with freshman Hawley Harrer and the last with Mosser, gave the Bruins seven set points. On the second attempt, Mosser closed out the seven-point win. Mosser had four kills in the third and May added three kills. Muno recorded nine digs, Miller had five and Rogers posted four blocks. The Bruins hit .205 and held the Sun Devils to a -.024 percentage.
Set four featured 10 ties and four lead changes. Trailing 13-9, the Bruins scored seven of nine to go ahead for good at 16-15. May had two kills, Rogers posted one, Gates recorded two block solos, Miller served an ace and ASU made an error. UCLA led by at least three for the rest of the set, as a May kill closed out a 25-23 win. May and Mosser both had five kills and Gates added three kills. Muno posted six digs, Simo had five and Aigner-Sweseyย recorded four. The Bruins out-hit the Sun Devils, .295 to .213.
The Bruins head to Tucson on Sunday for an 11 a.m. PT match against No. 24 Arizona. The contest will air on Pac-12 Networks Los Angeles.
