Dodson Scores Team-High 14 Kills in Loss to Stanford
November 12, 2022 | Women's Volleyball
LOS ANGELES โ Anna Dodson scored a game-high-tying 14 kills and four blocks as the UCLA women's volleyball team fell to No. 8 Stanford in straight sets (22-25, 23-25, 19-25) at Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom on Saturday night.
ย
Prior to first serve, the Bruins (14-11, 8-8 Pac-12) honored their five seniors, Matti McKissock, Mackenzie Cole, Tristin Savage, élan McCall and Anna Dodson.
ย
Iman Ndiaye was UCLA's second-best hitter with eight kills at .333.
ย
Leading the Cardinal (20-4, 15-1) attack was redshirt junior outside hitter Caitie Baird who collected 14 kills for a .316 clip.
ย
After UCLA put itself into a 7-1 hole in set one, the Bruins made a comeback led by the middle blocker Dodson. Dodson hit three consecutive kills for the Bruins to put them within one, two coming on an over-pass thanks to the solid serving by Mackenzie Cole. It was Cole's 7-0 run at the service line that gave UCLA the lead, 18-17. Dodson recorded eight total kills for the Bruins in their set one loss.
ย
UCLA and Stanford matched each other step by step from points 12 through 20 in set two. An ace by Matti McKissock put the Bruins within one, 24-23, before a kill by Stanford's Elia Rubin ultimately won the set. Dodson once again led UCLA in the second with six kills.
ย
Dodson has now recorded double-digit kills in seven consecutive matches. She entered the 2022 season with seven total over the previous two seasons.
ย
Next Up: UCLA will close the season series at Oregon and Oregon State next week. The Bruins will play the Ducks on the Pac-12 Network on Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. PT.
