Any upset gets a reaction.

But upsetting a team while at home in front of hundreds of young fans elicits a loud response.

UCLA women’s volleyball (17-9, 8-7 Big Ten) toppled No. 18 Washington (18-6, 9-6) in four sets. Thursday was Field Trip Day, and Pauley Pavilion was filled with the loud screams and cheers of young Bruin fans.

The Westwood squad jumped to an early lead in the first set, going up 10-4 and forcing Washington coach Leslie Gabriel to take her first timeout before the media break. Despite the Huskies taking the point immediately out of the break, the Bruins continued to dominate, entering the media timeout up by seven points.

UCLA closed the first set with a stuff block from fifth-year middle blocker Marianna Singletary and sophomore outside hitter Eliana Urzua, taking the set 25-10. The team recorded 18 kills at a .486 clip and only one error.

But the Huskies adjusted, settling in amid a loud audience of eager fans.

“I’m really happy with sets one, three and four,” said coach Matt Werle. “I think we’re still trying to be a little bit more consistent for the longevity of a match. It’s tough when you beat a team that easily in the first set and then making sure that you remain locked in through that second set. But I’m happy with how we competed for the majority of that match.”

Set two caught the blue and gold off guard, as the visiting squad leapt to a 7-2 lead, paused slightly by a timeout from Werle. While the Bruins were able to mount an attack late in the set, it wasn’t enough, and the Huskies tied the match with a 25-21 win.

Across the affair, Washington recorded 64 kills and digs to UCLA’s 61 and 59, respectively. However, the Bruins out-blocked their opponents 12.5 to four and kept their errors to just 11 as opposed to the 26 committed by the Huskies – 10 of which were seen in set three.

“Our block of defense kind of elevated themselves and made it a lot harder,” Werle said. “We slowed up their opposite, which was kind of torching us through the first two sets. So once we kind of slowed her up, we got them scrambled a little bit.”

Hitting at just .093, the opposing squad committed 10 errors during the third set. While the Huskies managed to pull ahead 14-11 after a long series of trading points, the Bruins bounced back.

Led by back-to-back-to-back blocks from Singletary, UCLA took the lead to enter the media timeout, which she followed up with another block en route to a 25-20 third set victory.

The Charleston, South Carolina, local finished the night tying her season-high 19 kills – which led both teams – while hitting a .548 clip. She had seven block assists and a solo block, four digs and an ace to help lead her team to its second ranked upset of the season.

Also hitting in double digits were sophomore right-side hitter Mija Bendziute and Urzua, both with 11 kills. Urzua had three block assists, and Bendziute recorded two while hitting at a .333 clip.

“There’s so much depth to this team, which is so amazing,” Bendziute said. “I feel like a lot of teams can’t say that about theirs. It’s so cool how regardless of who we’re playing, the opponent is, if they’re ranked, if they’re not, coming in is just an amazing opportunity, and I think that people definitely take part of that and they show up.”

With the team running a 6-2 offense, both junior setters Ava Sarafa and Kate Duffey saw court action, with Sarafa recording 28 assists and seven digs and Duffey tallying 21 assists and six digs.

Sophomore outside hitter Ava Utterback – who had a strong all-around performance after primarily serving as a defensive specialist – had nine kills at a .364 clip and tied with senior libero Kat Lutz at 12 digs each.

“Ava offers something pretty special to our team,” Werle said. “Just her level of competitiveness, but also she’s been so steady in service-receive for us. What she can do in the service line for us is over and above and what she did attacking wise, we didn’t anticipate her to go nine-one on 22 either. So that’s a pleasant surprise.”

The fourth set started with a few ties before the Bruins pulled ahead, aided by a Singletary block. From there, they pulled away and never let up, maintaining their lead all the way through a 25-21 victory to end the game.

And once business was handled on the court, the team entered the stands to show appreciation for the younger fans who filled the stands from the first serve to the last point. Singletary was a favorite, mobbed by girls who spent the match screaming their love for No. 11.

“It was just so cool,” Singletary said. “I remember we were those girls and those kids once. I remember what that felt like, and it’s crazy and cool that we’re those role models for them now. So I think it’s very full circle and it’s fun to give back in that way by putting on a performance for them.”
