SAN DIEGO — Another challenge on the road Saturday and another tough, nationally ranked opponent for the Santa Clara University volleyball team, as No. 4 San Diego held the Broncos' offense at bay in a 3-0 (25-16, 25-18, 25-19) West Coast Conference victory at Jenny Craig Pavilion.
No. 4 San Diego's defense held the Broncos (6-12, 2-4 WCC) to under .250 team hitting in all three sets. Even so, Santa Clara's attack improved throughout the match, topping out at .243 in the third, a 123-point improvement from set one.
Freshman middle blocker Lia Okammor had a strong all-around performance, tying season highs in both kills (5) and blocks (5).
