October 04, 2025 | Women's Volleyball
LOS ANGELES โย The No. 24-ranked UCLA women's volleyball team fell to Indiana in four sets on Saturday night inside Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom Financial.
ย
Set scores were 25-20, 17-25, 23-25, 21-25.
ย
The Bruins (8-6, 2-2 Big Ten) claimed the opening set before dropping three straight frames. Indiana (13-1, 4-0 Big Ten) remains unbeaten in conference play after receiving double-digit kill performances from Candela Alonso-Corcelles (18 kills), Avry Tatum (17 kills), and Jaidyn Jager (11 kills).
ย
Cheridyn Leverette eclipsed the 20-kill mark for the second time in the last three matches, totaling 21 kills (.234) and seven digs on the night.
ย
Eliana Urzua posted her third consecutive double-double, putting down 10 kills and snuffing out 14 digs defensively.ย
ย
Kate Duffey went for 47 assists and nine digs while Lola Schumacher led all players with 16 digs.
ย
UCLA opened the match with confidence, using a 6-0 run sparked by a Urzua back-row kill and Schumacher ace to build an early 11-4 lead. Indiana clawed back within one, but Leverette responded with four straight kills to restore momentum. The Bruins hit an impressive .481 as a team, with Leverette tallying six kills in the frame. Urzua delivered the set-point kill to secure a 25-20 win and a 1-0 match lead.
ย
Indiana flipped the script in the second set, racing out to an 8-2 advantage. UCLA responded with a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to one, but a successful challenge by the Hoosiers turned a service error into an ace and sparked a 4-0 surge. Indiana maintained control from there, hitting .343 in the set while UCLA struggled at .148. The Hoosiers closed out the frame 25-17 to even the match at one set apiece.
ย
Both teams traded early runs before Indiana used a 5-0 burst to take a 14-10 lead. UCLA responded with a 6-0 run, highlighted by Leverette's serving and Anastasija Ivkovic's solo block, to go ahead 22-21. Despite the late rally, Indiana regrouped and won the final three points to take the set 25-23. Leverette and Singletary led the comeback effort, but the Hoosiers held firm to grab a 2-1 led.
ย
UCLA jumped out to a 9-2 lead behind Leverette's solo block and Briscoe's emphatic kill off an overpass. Indiana chipped away with an 8-0 run to take a 20-17 lead, forcing multiple timeouts from the hosts. The Bruins rallied to within two at 23-21, but Indiana held on to win the set 25-21 and the match in four. Despite strong stretches from UCLA, the Hoosiers' late-set execution proved decisive.
ย
UCLA will travel to Minneapolis, Minn. to face No. 10ย Minnesota on Wednesday, Oct. 8, with first serve scheduled for 5 p.m. (PT). The match will be televised nationally on Big Ten Network.
