Irvine, CA - The UC Riverside Volleyball Team lost a three-set match at UC Irvine on Thursday evening in Big West Conference action, falling by the scores of 25-19, 25-21 and 25-12.
The Anteaters jumped out to a 7-1 lead early in the first set and still led at 20-13 midway through. The Highlanders rallied utilizing back-to-back kills from Megan Reza and Ashley Cox combined with two UCI attack errors to cut the margin to three, 20-17.
Still down three a short while later, 21-18, UCR's comeback fell just shy as UC Irvine scored three straight and four of the final five points to hang on for the 25-19 victory.
The beginning of set two was a tight battle as neither team led by more than three points until the 'Eaters turned a 10-8 lead into a 13-8 advantage. From there, the margin stayed between three and six points until the Highlanders went on a 5-1 run to cut the gap to two, 22-20. Bri Holmes had two kills during the run while Cristina Maietta added one and Meg Graham had a solo block.
UC Irvine scored the next two straight to go up at set point, 24-20, but another Holmes kill kept UCR in contention. The Highlanders looked to continue their comeback trailing 24-21, but an untimely service error proved the difference maker as UCI came away with the 25-21 win.
UC Riverside led 4-3 early in the third set but gave up three straight points and seven overall as the Anteaters went up 10-5. From there, UCI's lead extended to 14-6 en route to a 25-12 victory.
Holmes led UCR with a match-high 12 kills while Cox added seven. Allison Lee recorded 11 kills to lead the 'Eaters.
