HONOLULU - No. 2 UCLA beat the Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team 25-20, 25-21, 25-16 on Friday night (March 10) on the second day of the Outrigger Invitational.
The Mastodons' offense was clicking in the first set as they hit .360 as a team. The most efficient offense in the country was even better though. UCLA hit .409 in the opening set and finished the match at .463. The Mastodons had a 4-0 run late in the first set, but UCLA still led by a pair and responded with two more.
In set two, the Mastodons charged back from a 6-1 deficit to take a 14-13 lead after a block from Bryce Walker. UCLA rattled off seven in a row to take its lead back. The 'Dons held off three set points with kills from Jon Diedrich and Mark Frazier and a block from Frazier and Ryan Steponaitis.
The third set was all UCLA, as the Bruins hit a ridiculous .727 in the final frame while holding the 'Dons to .077.
Frazier had a team-high nine kills with a .533 hitting percentage. Wilmer Hernandez finished with a match-high six digs.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 12-7 while UCLA improves to 19-1. The Mastodons will wrap up their appearance in the Outrigger Invitational with a match against No. 3 Penn State tomorrow (Saturday, March 11) at 9 p.m. ET.
