CSUB Falls to Big West Leading UCSB on the Road

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The CSU Bakersfield volleyball team traveled to Big West Conference-leading UC Santa Barbara on Friday night and suffered a three-set loss on the road (15-25, 15-25, 17-25).

Offensively, Bakersfield was led by eight kills from redshirt sophomore Hana Makonova. Junior setter Seleisa Elisaia added five kills on .556 hitting to go with 20 assists, but the host Gauchos dominated the offensive effort. UCSB hit .348 as a team on the match while holding the `Runners to just a .094 clip.

Bakersfield hung tight with UCSB in the early parts of the first set, but the Gauchos used an 11-2 run to gain some separation at 18-8. The host squad went on to take the opening set, 25-15.

Santa Barbara jumped out to an early, 7-0 lead over the `Runners, but Bakersfield battled back and trailed just three points at 11-8. CSUB was unable to slow a late surge by the Gauchos and UCSB solidified another 25-15 victory.

The `Runners played their best set of the match in the final set, but it was not enough as UCSB finished off the sweep with a 25-17 win. Bakersfield posted a team hitting percentage of .172 in the final set.

CSUB (14-7, 7-6 BWC) will close out the weekend with one final road game on Saturday as the `Runners are due for a battle with CSUN in Northridge. First serve on Saturday is set for 5 p.m. (PT) in the Matadome.
