The UCSD men’s volleyball team tested its powers in front of a Division I powerhouse on the road and found out where it stands — not in a very good place.
The Trojans of USC downed the Tritons 3-0, winning the three games by scores of 30-21, 30-21 and 31-29.
UCSD actually threatened in the third game, holding a 27-23 lead at one point.
A great comeback was not to be, though, as USC battled back for the win.
It was all USC as they out-hit the Tritons 0.291 to 0.079.
Zack Hite and Griffin Cogorno were offensive highlights for UCSD, each garnering eight kills during the loss.
Defensively, Donald Chen led the way with eight blocks.
The Tritons will try to get back on the winning side of things this Friday when they host Pepperdine at 7 p.m.
