SEATTLE --Â Washington Volleyball enters the regular season home stretch, away from home, heading to Los Angeles for tough tests at UCLA and USC. For the first time since the start of conference play, the Huskies are breaking from their Friday-Sunday routine, playing at UCLA on Thursday, then at USC on Saturday night. Thursday's match also has an early 11 a.m. start time at Pauley Pavilion. Saturday at the Galen Center will go at 7 p.m. and air live on Big Ten Network.
The Dawgs are battling for both Big Ten Championship seeding as well as the chance of hosting NCAA tourney matches, and wants to be playing its best volleyball going into those tournaments. Winning on the home courts of the Bruins and Trojans will require some of UW's best. Washington has been solid on the road in Big Ten play, going 4-2 so far.
After having their three-match win streak snapped last Sunday by No. 1 Nebraska, the Huskies stayed at No. 18 in the AVCA poll, their seventh-straight week in the rankings. UW is also No. 17 in the RPI this week. Thursday's opponent, UCLA, is 21st nationally in RPI. In the Big Ten standings, the Huskies are in a four-way tie for fifth-place with a 9-5 record. At least two wins in the final three regular season matches would be needed to have a shot at cracking the conference's top-four. A 10th conference win would also be UW's most since joining the Big Ten in 2024.
UCLA is currently 16-9 overall and 7-7 in conference, and has been ranked in the top-25 much of the season but is currently just outside receiving votes. The Bruins had a big road win at Illinois last week, then lost in four sets at 14th-ranked Purdue. UCLA has gone to five sets five times in conference play, including a win over Penn State and a loss to Minnesota, compared to just once for the Huskies. In league play, UCLA is hitting .228 and allowing a .246 opposing mark. They are third overall in team blocks with 2.70 per set and eighth in digs with 13.31 per set, but 15th in aces with 0.95. MB Marianna Singletary is fourth in the B1G in blocking with 1.33 per set, and Kat Lutz is fifth with 3.71 digs per set. Singletary is one of the highest scoring middles, averaging 2.53 kills per set, hitting .324. Maggie Li leads the team with 2.85 kills per set in conference.
The Trojans are fighting for a spot in the Big Ten Tournament with a 4-10 conference record, 10-14 overall. But USC is coming off a road sweep over Rutgers in its last match. They also had a straight-set road win over a ranked Indiana squad, and have suffered three five-set losses in conference. In Big Ten matches, USC is hitting .226 and allowing a .270 mark to opponents. They are ninth in the league in blocks with 2.41 per set, 12th in aces with 1.13 per set, and 15th in digs with 11.52. USC's middle blocker duo are two of the most efficient attackers in the league. Leah Ford is hitting .401 and Mia Tvrdy is hitting .395, ranking seventh and eighth overall. Ford is also sixth in blocks at 1.29 per set. Abigail Mullen and London Wijay lead the attack with 3.04 kills per set (Mullen) and 3.01 kills per set (Wijay). UW is trying to snap a six-match skid against the Trojans.
