Volleyball Begins Road Stretch with Sweep at Menlo

ATHERTON, Calif. – The first match of a five-match road swing saw No. 20 OUAZ pick up a 3-0 sweep over Menlo College on Friday evening at Haynes-Prim Pavilion. The 25-20, 25-10, 25-14 win is the first-ever over Menlo on the Oaks' home court.

OUAZ (11-1, 4-0 GSAC) only trailed for two points at the beginning of the second set and played much of the match with a comfortable lead. The Spirit needed just 32 kills to secure the win as they delivered a season-high 15 service aces while forcing Menlo (2-7, 0-4) into 21 hitting errors.

Kate Pestova led the Spirit with eight kills on .304 hitting. This was the first match of her OUAZ career that she didn't record double figures in kills, snapping a streak of 27 consecutive outings. Pestova took just 23 attacks, and she added eight digs and three aces.

Livia De Pra added seven kills and 12 digs, with Avie Butsko posting seven six kills on .545 hitting with three aces. Cristal Carrizoza had 24 assists and three aces, and Valentina Trovato tallied 12 digs and three aces.

The Spirit hit .289 as a team with 48 digs and two blocks. The limited Menlo to .070 hitting – including negative-.029 in the second set – on 28 kills.

Jaden Scott led the Oaks with eight kills.

OUAZ now heads to Rocklin, California, where they will face William Jessup at noon on Saturday from Warrior Arena. Jessup currently sits one game behind the Spirit in the conference standings at 3-1.
