SAN DIEGO — Winners of 10 straight matches and the recipient of a league-leading 11 West Coast Conference weekly awards in 2025, San Diego volleyball (17-4, 10-0 WCC) will head to Los Angeles this weekend to play Loyola Marymount (5-14, 3-7 WCC) at the Gersten Pavilion.

The first-place Toreros will take on the Lions at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday afteroon in a matchup that will be streamed live on ESPN+ alongside live statistics on StatBroadcast.

TEN WINS IN A ROW

• San Diego’s current win streak dates back to September 25, 2025, spanning 37 days and nine different opponents, all within West Coast Conference play.

• As of Saturday, Washington State is the only team that the Toreros have beaten twice during the streak.

• It’s USD’s longest win streak since 2022, when the Toreros set a program record with 28 consecutive victories enroute to the NCAA National Semifinal, which marked the longest win streak in the country that year.

LAST TIME OUT: SAN DIEGO STAYS UNDEFEATED IN WCC PLAY WITH SWEEP OF SAN FRANCISCO

• The Toreros made quick work of San Francisco on Thursday night, using just one hour and 19 minutes to beat the Dons in straight sets by scores of 25-18, 25-12, and 25-18.

• USD (10-0) remains the only team still undefeated in WCC play. Oregon State sits in second place with a 8-2 conference record, tied with Pepperdine, which also holds a 8-2 mark in league play.

BIG NUMBERS FROM BEACH

• Junior outside hitter Nemo Beach leads the WCC and ranks 15th nationally with 359 total kills in 2025. Her average of 4.13 kills per set ranks first in the WCC and 44th nationally.

• She led San Diego to its 10th straight win on Thursday night, totaling 14 kills (.344), seven digs, two blocks,  and a service ace as the Toreros swept San Francisco at the Jenny Craig Pavilion.

MUNDAY SETS THE STANDARD

• Sophomore setter Kylie Munday leads the WCC and ranks 36th nationally with an average of 10.01 assists per set.

• Her 811 total assists in 2025 are the second most in the WCC and rank 26th nationally.

• She was at the center of San Diego’s sweep of San Francisco on Thursday night, tallying 28 assists, nine digs, four kills, three blocks (one solo), and two service aces.

LEADING THE WAY

• San Diego players are among the West Coast Conference’s leaders in multiple statistical categories entering Saturday afternoon’s action.

• Nemo Beach leads the league with 359 total kills and 4.13 kills per set, and is followed by teammate Isabel Clark, who ranks third in the WCC with 288 kills of her own.

• Olivia Bennett has recorded a conference-high 330 digs and 3.79 digs per set so far in 2025.

• Kylie Munday leads the WCC with an average of 10.01 assists per set and ranks second in the league with 811 total assists.

DOMINANT DEFENSE

ALL-TIME SERIES AGAINST LOYOLA MARYMOUNT

• USD’s 3-2, reverse-sweep win over LMU at the JCP on September 27 snapped a four-game losing streak to the Lions that dated back to 2023.

• San Diego is 25-23 all-time against LMU in Los Angeles, and last won at Gersten Pavilion on November 17, 2022, when the Toreros, then-ranked No. 2 nationally, rallied for a 3-2 victory to preserve what was then a 22-match win streak.

GOING THE DISTANCE

• San Diego has played five sets on nine different occasions this season, and is 7-2 in such matches.

• Approximately 42 percent (9 of 21) of USD’s matches so far in 2025 (entering Saturday) have gone five sets.

• However, only two WCC opponents have taken the Toreros to five this season: Loyola Marymount on September 27 and Washington State on October 25. Both matches saw the Toreros overcome 2-0 deficits at the JCP.
