March 09, 2019 | Women's Beach Volleyball, Features
The Women of Troy claimed all five matches in straight sets to complete a 5-0 sweep of the Horned Frogs
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. – The No. 2-ranked USC beach volleyball team (8-1) extended its winning streak to seven straight duals on a 5-0 sweep of No. 19 TCU (5-5) at the East Meets West Invitational on Saturday, March 9, at the Manhattan Beach Pier. The win was the Trojans' fourth all-time against the Horned Frogs without a loss and was also USC's fourth 5-0 sweep of the season.
Â
The Trojans scored the first dual point with a win at the top court as senior Abril Bustamante and sophomore Tina Graudina completed a 21-17, 21-11 win over Jaelyn Greene and Victoria McDonald for their 40th all-time victory as a pair. It was also the duo's ninth straight to start the season. The second point came from the middle of the lineup when sophomore Haley Hallgren and senior Alexandra Poletto turned in a 21-16, 21-16 win over Taylor Bradley and Claire Doyle to remain undefeated (9-0) this season. It was the 19th win as a pair for Hallgren and Poletto.
Â
USC's tandem of senior Terese Cannon and sophomore Sammy Slater delivered the knockout blow with a 21-18, 21-12 win over Haven Hill and Molly Scheel at the No. 2 position. The fourth point of the dual came from court four. The Trojans' junior duo of Joy Dennis and Cammie Dorn picked up a 21-15, 21-16 win over Jordan Westendorff and Caroline White in their first match together this season.
Â
The sweep went into the books when freshman Mollie Ebertin and sophomore Maja Kaiser completed their 21-17, 22-20 win over Avery Arellano and Hailey Brockett at the No. 5 position. The USC pair had played together in the fall but officially logged their first collegiate match together with the win.
Â
Up next, USC plays No. 6 Louisiana State on Sunday, March 10, at 10 a.m. in Manhattan Beach. The Trojans conclude the East Meets West Invitational with a rematch against No. 4 Florida State at 3 p.m.
