MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.ย -- No. 1 UCLA (19-1) earned a pair of 5-0 sweeps on the final day of competition of the East Meets West Invitational on Saturday at Manhattan Beach Pier. The Bruins opened with a 5-0 win over No. 8 Florida State (14-2) in the morning and then defeated No. 19 FIU (8-9) in the afternoon. The Bruins improved to 18-9 against the Seminoles with their fifth consecutive win in the series and remained undefeated at 11-0 against the FIU Panthers.
In the first dual against Florida State, the Bruins' court one pair of freshman Sally Perez and junior Maggie Boyd clinched the dual victory with a 21-16, 21-18 win over FSU's Alexis Durish and Audrey Koenig. UCLA's court three duo of redshirt sophomores Kenzie Brower and Ensley Alden completed the sweep with a 21-17, 21-12 win over Kyleene Filimaua and McKenna Flaherty.
In the dual against FIU, the court one pair of Boyd and Perez again clinched the victory, taking down Ella Gray and Sofie Vogel, 21-9, 21-16. And again the threes, Alden and Brower completed the sweep with a herculean effort to beat Katarina Drodz and Maria Sanchez, 21-16, 37-39, 15-9.
UP NEXT: The Bruins will complete almost the exact same teams in two weeks at the East vs. West tournament in Baton Rouge, La. The Bruins will open against Florida State at 9:15 a.m. PT on Friday, March 28, followed by LSU at 3:30 p.m. PT later that day. UCLA will also face Texas and TCU on Saturday, March 29.
