Last Time Out

On Friday, the Bruins defeated ASU, 25-22, 25-17, 22-25, 25-22. The first set was a back and forth battle. The teams split the first 16 points. At that point, UCLA went on a 4-1 run to take a 12-9 lead, but ASU responded with a 4-1 run of their own to tie it, 13-13. With the set tied 16-16, the Bruins went on a 6-2 run which proved to be enough to go on and win the set, 25-22.

The second set began with a 4-0 Bruin run and UCLA held the lead until ASU finally tied it back up at 14-14. The teams split the next four points before the Bruins went on a decisive 8-0 run that gave UCLA a 24-16 lead. The Sun Devils finally broke the run with a kill by Iman Isanovic, but it was too little, too late as Sabrina Smith killed the next volley and the Bruins took the set, 25-17.

In the third set, UCLA didn’t have a lead until 14-13 and their final lead of the set came at 19-18. That’s when Arizona State went on a 4-0 run that the Bruins couldn’t overcome.

The fourth set began with the Sun Devils scoring two of the first three points, but a 5-1 run put the Bruins ahead for good. ASU was able to cut the lead back to just a point just once, at 4-3, as UCLA ran away with the set and the match, 25-22 and 3-1.
