LOS ANGELES – Freshman Bailee Huizenga had nine kills and three blocks but the Cal volleyball team fell to No. 25 USC on Friday, 25-22, 25-20, 25-18 at the Galen Center.
Junior Christine Alftin added six kills and six digs while senior Jenelle Jordan had five kills and four blocks.
The Bears (8-11, 2-7 Pac-12) almost completed a spirited comeback in the first set. They fell behind 10-3 before slowly pecking away at the Trojans' advantage. Cal eventually tied it up at 17-17 on a block by sophomore Belen Castillo. The set was tied again at 21-21 and 22-22, but USC scored the final three points to close it out.
The second set was mostly close as well, as it was tied 14-14 and the Bears trailed just 21-19. But again the Trojans strung some late points together to take command.
Redshirt freshman Savannah Rennie made the second appearance of her career after coming back from a liver transplant in May. After making her college debut Oct. 7 against Utah, Rennie played in a few points near the end of the third set.
The Bears will stay in Los Angeles to play No. 15 UCLA on Sunday at Noon.
