Last Time Out
The Bruins hosted BYU in the penultimate match of the season last night and the Cougars swept UCLA, 19-25, 16-25, 17-25. UCLA had a 13-11 lead in the first set when BYU rattled off a 5-0 run to take a 16-13 lead. But the Bruins managed to tie it back up at 17-17. UCLA collapsed from there when BYU went on an 8-2 run to win the set 25-19.
While the Bruins jumped out ahead 4-0 early, UCLA couldn’t score on consecutive points until the first set point when BYU had a 24-14 lead. After UCLA scored two points, the Cougars picked up the point they needed to win the set, 25-16.
The teams battled back and forth for the first half of the third set and, soon, it was tied 12-12. After UCLA took a 13-12 edge, BYU went on 13-4 run to finish off the set and the match with a 25-17 final score. And, just like that the Cougars swept UCLA, 3-0.
Tonight, the Bruins will look to clinch second place in the MPSF regular season standings when they host BYU again.
