SAN DIEGO – San Diego started slow and could not regroup as the Toreros were swept, 3-0, by San Diego State on Tuesday 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.

The Toreros were held to their second-lowest hitting percentage of the season (.125) and could not slow down an Aztecs offense that registered its best performance of the season (.410).
 
SDSU's Ashlynn Dunbar and Hannah Turnlund caused the most issues for the Toreros, racking up 11 and 10 kills, respectively. The Toreros managed just 19 digs in the match, including one in the first set.
 
Roxie Wiblin and Megan Jacobsen led the Toreros offensively with eight kills apiece. Wiblin hit .438 on the night and Jacobsen hit. 312.
