The no. 25 ranked University of San Diego volleyball team opened their West Coast Conference (WCC) schedule at home with an impressive win over the Saint Mary’s University Gaels on Thursday, Sept. 23.
The Toreros won in straight sets defeating the Gaels 25-7, 25-21, 25-9. This was USD’s fifth win in a row over Saint Mary’s — with the streak dating back to Fall 2019.
Senior outside hitter, Katie Lukes, talked about how volleyball’s preseason affected their mindset coming into their first conference game.
“We had a lot of confidence coming into this game because we did have a lot of big, gritty wins this preseason,” Lukes said.
