BOULDER, Colo. โ Outside hitter Charitie Luper registered a match-high 17 kills in the UCLA women's volleyball team's 3-1 loss to Colorado (23-25, 25-18, 15-25, 24-26) at the CU Events Center Friday night. It was the fifth time this season Luper scored 15-plus kills in a match which is good for best on the squad.

Freshman Cheridyn Leverette eclipsed double-digit kill numbers for the first time in her career with 13 kills at a .219 clip. Leverette also accounted for two solo blocks.
ย
The Bruins (10-10, 4-7 Pac-12) hit for 53 kills at .149 compared to the Buffaloes' (14-7, 6-5 Pac-12) 55 kills at .199. Colorado's Maya Tabron, Lexi Hadrych and Meegan Hart each recorded double-digit kills.

Matti McKissock tallied a team-high 38 assists and a career-high 20 digs. McKissock's former career high was 16 which came against Penn State as a member of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in 2021.

UCLA dug itself out of a 5-0 hole to begin the match with a 5-0 run of its own, capped off by back-to-back kills by Anna Dodson. Dodson, who competed in her first match since Oct. 16 versus Oregon, finished with 11 kills and three block assists tonight.
ย
Colorado jumped ahead with another big run, 13-7. The Bruins clawed back, facing five consecutive set points before seeing their comeback thwarted by a Hadrych kill to win the first set.
ย
The Bruins trailed 10-8 in the second set before a 4-0 run with back-to-back kills by Luper gave them a lead they would hold onto for the remainder of the frame. Leverette led the Bruins' scoring in the second set going 5-for-7 on her swings with a block.
ย
Next Up: The Bruins close their weekend series at Utah on Sunday, Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. PT in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The Utes (13-9, 6-5 Pac-12) defeated No. 24 USC in a sweep tonight behind 17 kills from Madelyn Robinson.
