Two nights after sweeping Arizona, they closed nonconference play with back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/meghan-scholz\/13214\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13214\" target=\"_blank\">Meghan Scholz<\/a> finished with nine total blocks, the most by a Torero in a match this season, and San Diego held SDSU to .075 hitting while out-blocking the Aztecs 15.0-3.0. The Toreros hit .280, out-killed SDSU 50-40 and made 13 attack errors to the Aztecs&#8217; 29.<\/p>\n<p>Up 3-2 in the first set, San Diego got a kill from Brewer and then won four straight points with her serving, including an ace and two blocks by <a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/kylie-munday\/13210\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13210\" target=\"_blank\">Kylie Munday<\/a> and Scholz, to lead 8-2. The Toreros never trailed in the set. SDSU pulled within 20-18, but a <a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/baylea-sparks\/13212\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13212\" target=\"_blank\">BayLea Sparks<\/a> kill and a <a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/lauren-lynch\/13208\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13208\" target=\"_blank\">Lauren Lynch<\/a> ace stretched the lead back to four, and Brewer ended it with a kill.<\/p>\n<p>Another Brewer service run, this one with her second ace, turned a 5-3 second-set deficit into a 7-5 lead, and San Diego was up 19-15 after a <a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/nemo-beach\/13203\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13203\" target=\"_blank\">Nemo Beach<\/a> kill. SDSU closed on a 10-3 run from there, with Mila Gehlen putting down six kills over the final 11 points, to even the match.<\/p>\n<p>Brewer had kills on the first two points of the third set, and <a href=\"http:\/\/usdtoreros.com\/sports\/womens-volleyball\/roster\/kierstyn-barton\/13217\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"13217\" target=\"_blank\">Kierstyn Barton<\/a> served the Toreros to a 5-0 lead, capping the run with an ace. SDSU got within 7-6, but San Diego answered with a 15-6 run and hit .333 in the set while holding the Aztecs to .000. Barton had six kills on .625 hitting in the set, including the final point.<\/p>\n<p>SDSU led 3-1 early in the fourth set before San Diego took the lead for good at 5-4, during a three-point run on Scholz&#8217;s serve that included solo blocks by Beach and Sparks. Brewer&#8217;s back-to-back kills made it 14-9, and Sparks stuffed two more hitters by herself as the Toreros finished the set with 7.0 blocks and held SDSU to -.079 hitting. Barton and Scholz combined on a block to reach match point, and an SDSU attack error ended it.<\/p>\n<p>Barton hit .417 with a match-high 18 kills and added 11 digs for her third straight double-double. Munday made it three double-doubles on the night for San Diego, pairing 38 assists with 10 digs for her fifth of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Lynch led all players with 18 digs and has at least 14 in each of San Diego&#8217;s 10 matches this season. Brewer hit .440 with two aces and five block assists, and Beach added 10 kills.<\/p>\n<p>A crowd of 1,072 turned out for the crosstown matchup.<\/p>\n<p>UP NEXT<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe defending WCC champion Toreros open West Coast Conference play at home against Saint Mary&#8217;s on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 7 p.m.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Story Links&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Next Match: Saint Mary&#8217;s 9\/24\/2026 | 7&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469776,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-469775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
