Buffs volleyball drops three close sets in eventual loss to USC

The University of Colorado women’s volleyball team lost to the University of Southern California Trojans 3-1 on Friday. The loss extends CU’s 0-5 start to conference play.

Freshman outside hitter Elissa Alcantara made a splash in her first match playing in every set for CU with 12 kills.

“This is really the first opportunity for Elissa to get a lot of playing time and I thought she did a nice job,” said head coach Jesse Mahoney. “I think the next time she’s on the floor she’ll be a little bit better. … It was good to see her do a lot of good things tonight.
