UCLA Sweeps California, 3-0
October 13, 2023 | Women's Volleyball
BERKELEY, Calif. โ Grayce Olson recorded 12 kills at a .304 hitting percentage to lead the UCLA women's volleyball team in a sweep over California at Haas Pavilion Friday night.
ย
Set scores were 26-24, 25-13 and 25-23.
ย
The Bruins (10-7, 2-5) totaled 44 kills and hit for .256 as a team. Setter Audrey Pak established a new career best with 36 assists. The Moraga, Calif. native filled up the statsheet with seven digs, two kills and a block. Joining Olson in double-figure kills was Anna Dodson with 10 on just 20 swings and Cheridyn Leverette who added 10 more.
ย
UCLA had four set points at the service line in set one when a kill by Olson put the Bruins ahead, 24-20. However, a late 4-0 run by the Golden Bears (12-6, 1-6) with a kill by Maggie Li and ace from Paige Morningstar knotted the set, 24-24. After a UCLA timeout, Leverette quickly deposited a kill and Dodson notched her first of three blocks of the night for set point.
ย
California's most efficient performer was middle blocker Mikayla Hayden who put up 11 kills at a .556 hitting percentage.
ย
The Bruins dominated set two for 14 kills at a .444 clip. Dodson and Ndiaye tallied an error-free four and three kills, respectively, while Olson added four more in the frame. UCLA was also lethal from the service line with three aces.
ย
UCLA maintained a slight advantage throughout most of set three. The Golden Bears were able to bring the score within one point, 23-22, before an attack error by Li put match point on the line. Dodson sealed the victory with a solo block after rejecting a California attack earlier in the play.
ย
The Bruins close out their weekend in the Bay Area Sunday when they take on No. 3 Stanford in Maples Pavilion at 12 p.m. (PT). The match will be televised by the Pac-12 Networks with Greg Mescall on the call.
