Wild Third Set Leads UCLA to Victory over Oregon State

November 20, 2022 | Women's Volleyball

CORVALLIS, Ore. – The UCLA women's volleyball team tallied a season-high 72 kills in its 3-1 victory over Oregon State at Gill Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Bruins (15-12, 9-9 Pac-12) hit for .341 as a team which was their most in a match going beyond three sets this season. UCLA totaled 24 kills in the third set for its most in a set this season.
 
UCLA survived nine Oregon State set points to take the third frame, 35-33, and avoid falling into a 2-1 hole. The 35 points were the most scored in a set by UCLA in the 25-point era and its most since Oct. 11, 2007, when the Bruins scored 36 in the fourth set versus Oregon.
 
élan McCall came up with a big solo block and four kills between points 25 and 34, including the kill to send the final set point to the service line. Iman Ndiaye slammed finished off the wild frame with her fifth kill of the set. Four of those kills came after UCLA's 25th point.
 
McCall finished the match with her tenth double-double of the season, tying a season-high with 18 kills (.350) and 13 digs. Charitie Luper also recorded a double-double with 14 kills (.297) and 13 digs.
 
Anna Dodson and Ndiaye joined the duo in double figures with 15 and 10 kills, respectively.
 
Matti McKissock tallied the 5,000th assist of her career in the second set. McKissock finished as an undergraduate at Georgia Tech with 4,103 assists. Including her 35 assists against the Beavers today, McKissock leads UCLA with 924 assists this season.
 
Two days after tying the program record in service aces with eight against No. 12 Oregon, Mokihana Tufono led several runs from the service line to end the day with a team-high 21 serve attempts. Tufono helped spur the Bruins to a win in the first set with a 4-0 run, pushing UCLA out to a 16-12 lead.
 
In the fourth, Tufono went to the service line with the score tied 15-15 when she led another 4-0 run.
 
Next Up: UCLA has a quick turnaround next week, facing No. 25 Washington at Bohler Gym in Pullman, Wash. at 6 p.m. (PT). The match will be televised by the Pac-12 Network.
 
UCLA will close its final week of the regular season at USC on Friday night at 8 p.m. (PT) in the Galen Center.
