USC looks to snap a two-match losing streak on Thursday when it takes on rival UCLA in women’s college volleyball.
The USC Trojans look to complete a season sweep of the UCLA Bruins on Thursday night. The Trojans took down the rival Bruins back on Oct. 13 at home in five sets. In that match they won the first set 25-16, but then lost the next two sets 25-18, 25-19. They were able to bounce back to take the final two sets 25-21, 15-11 to get the big rivalry win. They would win the next two matches against Maryland and Rutgers, but have stumbled in the last two matches in losses to Michigan State and No. 3 Penn State. They were upset by the Spartans in five sets and then were overwhelmed by the Nittany Lions on Saturday. The Trojans now sit at 14-6 overall and 6-4 in the Big Ten. They have played well at home, but are just 4-3 on the road. They are looking to be better on Thursday and knock off the Bruins for second time this season.

The Bruins, though, are looking to avoid getting swept and avenge that earlier season loss to the Trojans.
The Bruins are just 2-2 since their loss to the Trojans, but they have been playing better as both of their losses came in five sets to No. 10 Purdue and No. 3 Penn State. They did fall to both teams, but they pushed them to the limit.
The Bruins now sit at 10-9 overall and 4-6 in conference play in their first season in the Big Ten. They are coming off a win over Michigan State on Sunday in which they swept the Spartans.
