Lucas Frassrand and Sam Kobrine each had 10 kills and Simon Gallas added 9 kills to help the No. 6 USC men's volleyball beat No. 15 BYU, 25-18, 25-10, 25-17, in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation contest on Saturday (March 5) at USC's Galen Center.
Â
It was the Trojans' second home victory in as many nights over the Cougars, giving USC its first regular season sweep of BYU since 2011. Troy posted a 3-1 win over BYU on Friday (March 4).
Â
BYU's 45 total points were its fewest in a match in 2022. The Cougars' 10 points in the second set not only were their fewest in any set this season, but were their fewest in a non-fifth set against the Trojans in the rally scoring era dating to 2001.
Â
USC improved to 13-3 overall in 2022 and 3-1 in the MPSF while remaining undefeated (9-0) at home in 2022.
Â
BYU lost its ninth straight match of the season while falling to 5-11 overall and 0-4 in the MPSF.
Â
USC hit a blazing .523 in the match, while BYU was held to .076. USC had more blocks (7.0 to 1.0), aces (5 to 2) and digs (22 to 19).
Â
Frassrand hit .714 in the match and had 3 blocks, Kobrine hit .562 and had 3 blocks and 2 aces and Gallas hit .368. Chris Hall had a match-best 9 digs with 33 assists, Brandon Browning had 7 kills (hitting .500) and 4 digs and Liam Schroeder had 3 blocks.
Â
For BYU, Davide Gardini had 5 kills and Mitchel Worthington had 6 digs.
Â
USC jumped out to a 5-1 start in the first set and extended it to 12-6 and 19-12, keeping the Cougars at bay the whole way while hitting .526.
Â
The Trojans scored the first 3 points of the second set and never looked back, moving out to leads of 7-2, 16-6, 19-7 and 23-9 while hitting .524 and getting 3 blocks in the set.Â
Â
In the third set, USC went on a 3-point run to open a 7-4 lead, then extended it to 9-5, 16-10, 20-12 and 22-13 to easily finish out the match while hitting .523.
