In an attempt to snap a three-game losing streak, the San Diego State volleyball team lost their fourth straight match to the San José State Spartans in four sets, 3-1.
The Aztecs (9-19, 4-13 Mountain West Conference) managed to win the second set 25-22, however, lost the first set 25-15, the third set 27-25 and the fourth set 25-22 respectively.
A challenging season for the Aztecs continued as they were defeated in their final road game, and finished 3-9 on the road this year.
The Aztecs have struggled to find their recipe for success, but still have had bright spots all year long.
In the game against the Spartans (13-18, 4-14), sophomore Madison Corf, sophomore Taylor Underwood and senior Heipua Tautua’a combined for 35 put aways. Despite this, the Scarlet and Black could not overcome an SDSU season-high 18 service errors.
Corf led the Aztecs with 13 kills, while Tautua’a had a match-high three service aces. Senior Julia Haynie also finished with five blocks, the most of anyone on the day.
Despite the loss, the Aztecs still led the game in kills 46-44 and also led the game in service aces 9-6. However, these efforts made by the team was not enough to edge the Spartans.
Going forward, the Aztecs have only one game remaining against the UNLV Rebels (18-11, 10-7).
This will be their second time playing the Rebels this year after losing to them, 3-2, during their first conference game of the year in Las Vegas.
The Aztecs will finish their year on their home court and will also celebrate their seniors for senior day.
