No. 14 USC Men's Volleyball Beats Stanford In MPSF Opener
February 08, 2018 | Men's Volleyball, Features
Trojans snap 7-match losing streak.
Jack Wyett had a match-high 22 kills and 8 digs to help the No. 14-ranked USC men's volleyball team snap a 7-match losing streak and defeat unranked Stanford, 25-20, 25-23, 21-25, 21-25, 15-10, in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation opener for both teams on Thursday (Feb. 8) at USC's Galen Center.
USC upped its overall record to 4-7, while the Cardinal fell to 2-9.
Wyett hit .439 in the match, while teammate Ryan Moss added 18 kills, 10 digs, 4 blocks and 2 aces, Gianluca Grasso had 16 kills and 8 digs and Sam Lewis had 9 kills (hitting .538) and 4 blocks.
For Stanford, Kevin Rakestraw had 18 kills while hitting .516, Jaylen Jasper had 14 kills, 12 digs and 4 aces, Eric Beatty also had 14 kills, Kyler Presho had 12 kills (hitting .476) and Jake Stuebner had 9 digs.
USC hit .396 to Stanford's .350. The Cardinal served 7 aces, while USC posted 7.0 blocks.
USC scored back-to-back points to open a 17-15 lead in the first set and then pulled away while hitting .543 and getting 15 digs. The second set was tight throughout until the Trojans scored consecutive points to go up 24-22, all they needed to capture the set while hitting .467. It was more of the same in the third set, as the score was close until late when the Cardinal notched the final 4 points while hitting .433. USC jumped out to a quick 4-1 edge in the fourth set and extended it to 9-4 before the Cardinal charged back, scoring 3 straight to go up 16-15 and then tallying 4 out of 5 points for a comfortable 22-19 margin (Stanford had 3 aces and 15 blocks in the set). USC turned a 3-1 deficit in the fifth set into an 8-5 lead and the Cardinal couldn't catch up as Troy hit a perfect 1.000.
USC returns to action on Saturday (Feb. 10) when it hosts No. 7 BYU at 7 p.m. PT in the Galen Center in another MPSF contest.
