SEATTLE – The UCLA women's volleyball team fell to Washington in straight sets on Saturday night inside Alaska Airlines Arena.

Set scores were 17-25, 25-27, 18-25.

UCLA (16-12, 10-8 Big Ten) saw three players reach double-digit kills in the defeat. Cheridyn Leverette led the Bruins with 13 kills, Maggie Li recorded 11 kills, and Marianna Singletary tallied 10.

Washington (12-16, 7-11 Big Ten) received a standout performance from Simona Mateska who finished with a team-high 13 kills. Kierstyn Barton also ascended into double figures with 12 kills on the night.

Kate Duffey reached a significant milestone in the match, registering her 1,000^th career assist. UCLA's setter handed out 23 assists and racked up five digs on the evening.

Lola Schumacher posted her 23^rd game with double-digit digs, collecting a match-high 15 digs in the contest.

UCLA opened the match with a 4-0 run as Leverette connected on four of her first five swings to give the Bruins a 7-6 lead, but Washington quickly answered with a 5-0 run to regain control. Leverette's fifth kill of the set and an ace from Singletary helped UCLA tie the frame at 16-all following a 6-1 surge. The Huskies, however, closed strong with a decisive 9-1 run to take the opener, despite Leverette and Li combining for 11 kills.

The Bruins responded in set two with a dominant start, fueled by a massive kill from Anastasija Ivkovic and a pair of blocks from Brooklyn Briscoe to build a 9-3 advantage. Singletary added three kills to maintain momentum, and her solo block and ace pushed the lead to 17-11. Washington clawed back within two at 19-17 and later tied the set at 22-all. Leverette and Singletary each delivered clutch kills to earn set points, but the Huskies fended them off and ultimately prevailed, 27-25.

In the third, Washington jumped ahead 5-2 and extended the margin with consecutive 3-0 runs to lead 14-6. The Huskies hit .394 in the frame and closed out the sweep with a 25-18 victory.
