LAST TIME OUT
• Isabel Clark and Nemo Beach both totaled 13 kills last Saturday afternoon, leading San Diego volleyball to a dominant 3-0 win over Oregon State as Alumni Weekend concluded at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.

• Their efforts were bolstered by eight kills from Kennedy Osunsanmi and another seven from Haylee Stoner, who continued her efficient ways by hitting an absurd .778 as the Toreros beat the Beavers 25-21, 25-12, and 25-22.

• USD didn't trail in either of the first two frames, and erased a five-point deficit late in the third set to secure its fifth sweep of 2024. San Diego nearly held OSU to single digits in set two, holding a 23-9 lead before the Beavers scored a trio of points down the stretch.

• Freshman setter Kylie Munday continued to shine, racking up 38 assists as she finished a dig shy of the eighth double-double of her young college career.

• Clark helped headline the defense, recording a match-high 12 digs to notch a double-double of her own that complemented a team-high four block assists (and seven kills) from Kristen Erland.

ALL-TIME SERIES VS LMU
• The Toreros are 49-42 against the Lions all-time, with the two programs' last meeting coming last October when LMU beat USD 3-1 in San Diego.

• The Toreros' last victory over the Lions came in November of 2022 when then-ranked No. 2 USD beat LMU 3-2 in Los Angeles to extend their WCC win streak to 16 enroute to a perfect 18-0 record in conference play.
