While Santa Barbara claimed a 3-2 away win in October, San Diego claimed an away win tonight with a 3-0 shut out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">HOW IT HAPPENED<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe first set set the tone for the remainder of the match, as it was a tug-of-war over the lead. The score flipped back and forth by a couple points and UCSD managed two six-point scoring runs that sealed the deal. They took the first set 25-22.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">San Diego stayed formidable through the second, with the tie deadlocked nearly the whole way. The Gauchos got ahead a couple of times, but the Tritons protested. The set went into overtime, and it was the Tritons who ultimately succeeded 26-24.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The third set was the same, with the teams leapfrogging for the lead. The opponents stayed within two points of one another from a slight Gaucho lead at 7-6 to San Diego&#8217;s match point at 24-22. Though Santa Barbara had a slight lead at 22-20, UCSD managed five in a row to finish the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">STAT RECAP<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ucsbgauchos.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/gabi-martinez\/7440\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7440\" target=\"_blank\">Gabi Martinez<\/a> was invaluable, hammering 17 kills and 5.6 per set.
