SAN DIEGO – San Diego continues conference play with a pair of road matches this weekend at Santa Clara and San Francisco.
 
The Toreros (7-9, 4-2 WCC) open the weekend against the Broncos (5-13, 0-5 WCC) on Thursday at 7 p.m. PT. USD wraps up the Bay Area trip on Saturday at noon against San Francisco. It will be the Toreros first time playing two consecutive road matches since the opening weekend of the season on Aug. 24-25 at No. 17 Washington.
 
Both matches will be streamed on theW.tv and live statistics will be available via USDToreros.com.
 
LAST TIME OUT
• The Toreros went 0-2 last week, dropping decisions at San Diego State and at home against No. 1 BYU.
 
• USD started slow and could not regroup as the Toreros were swept, 3-0, by San Diego State night at Peterson Gym
 
• The loss snapped USD's (7-8) five-match winning streak against the Aztecs (3-14) and is the first defeat against SDSU since Nov. 14, 2012. It is the first time the Toreros have been swept by an unranked opponent since a, 3-0, decision against Loyola Marymount on Nov. 24, 2015, and USD had not been swept by SDSU since Aug. 31, 1996.
 
• The Toreros were held to their third-lowest hitting percentage of the season (.125) and could not slow down an Aztecs offense that registered its best performance of the season (.410).
 
• Roxie Wiblin and Megan Jacobsen led the Toreros offensively with eight kills apiece. Wiblin hit .438 on the night and Jacobsen hit. 312.
 
• Megan Jacobsen and Roxie Wiblin recorded 10 kills apiece but it was not enough to take down No. 1 BYU, as the Toreros fell, 3-1, Friday night at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
 
• After dropping the first set, 25-21, the Toreros (7-9, 4-2 WCC) became the fifth team this season to take a set from the top-ranked Cougars (16-0, 6-0 WCC), winning the second, 26-24. However, USD could not sustain the momentum and dropped the third (25-16) and fourth (25-10) sets.
 
• Addie Picha did it all for the Toreros, leading the team in hitting percentage (.467) with eight kills, and recorded four blocks, a dig and an assist.
