UCLA Earns Four-Set Win Over Washington
November 02, 2025 | Women's Volleyball
LOS ANGELES โย The UCLA women's volleyball team returned to the win column with a four-set victory over Washington on Sunday afternoon inside Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom Financial.
ย
Set scores were 25-20, 25-20, 20-25, 25-22.
ย
Marianna Singletary delivered one of the most impressive performances of her UCLA career, powering the Bruins (13-9, 7-5 Big Ten) to a decisive victory. The Charleston, S.C. native recorded a career-high 16 kills and added four blocks, (one solo) finishing with a game-best 18.5 points.
ย
The Bruins came up with nine blocks as a team to hold Washington (10-12, 5-7 Big Ten) to a hitting percentage of just .095. Simona Mateska led the Huskies with 15 kills in the contest.
ย
Setter Kate Duffey also turned in a career-best performance, racking up 44 assists and a personal-high 22 digs to orchestrated a prolific UCLA attack.
ย
Cheridyn Leverette reached double figures with 15 kills, while Maggie Li notched her first UCLA double-double, finishing with 13 kills and 11 digs.
ย
UCLA's back row was anchored by standout efforts from its defensive specialists. Lola Schumacher dug out 17 balls and Kat Lutz added 16 to help keep Washington's attack in check.
ย
UCLA opened the match with strong swings from Leverette and Singletary to take an early lead. After a brief back-and-forth stretch, the Bruins regained momentum with a 4-0 run highlighted by a Li ace. Duffey added a dump kill to edge UCLA ahead, and Singletary took over late with three emphatic kills, including a punishing overpass and a clutch swing on set point, to fuel a 6-0 closing run and secure the 25-20 win.
ย
Washington started fast with a 3-0 burst in the second frame, but UCLA responded with a 5-0 run sparked by Briscoe's solo block. Singletary continued her dominant play with consecutive kills and a key block, helping the Bruins build a five-point cushion. Leverette capped a long rally to extend the lead, and despite a late push from the Huskies, UCLA held firm for another 25-20 victory. Washington struggled offensively, committing 12 errors and hitting in the negatives.
ย
UCLA grabbed a quick 4-1 lead in the third set behind Singletary's 10th kill, but Washington answered with a six-point run to flip the momentum. The Huskies extended their lead to 13-7, forcing a UCLA timeout. The Bruins fought back to narrow the gap to three, but nine attacking errors and sub-.100 hitting proved costly as Washington took the set.
ย
A big block from Li and Briscoe tied the set early and sparked a 4-0 UCLA run, followed by another surge capped by a Lutz ace. Washington rallied to even the score at 13, but Anastasija Ivkovic delivered a key side-out kill to restore the lead. Leverette stayed steady on offense, and Singletary's late kill ignited a 3-0 run to push UCLA ahead 23-19. Li closed the door with back-to-back kills, sealing the four-set win for the Bruins.
ย
The Bruins continue Big Ten Conference action on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. (PT) for a road match at Oregon. The match will be broadcast nationallyย on FS1.
