April 13, 2019 | Men's Volleyball, Features
Ryan Moss had 14 kills and 4 aces and Jack Wyett added 11 kills to lead the No. 5-ranked USC men's volleyball team to a 25-17, 25-19, 25-22 sweep over No. 15 Grand Canyon in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament quarterfinal match on Saturday (April 13) in USC's North Gym.
