WSU beats USC to win first Pac-12 volleyball match

L.A treated the Cougs well on Saturday, as Washington State volleyball defeated the USC Trojans in five sets (25-19, 25-27, 25-22, 19-25, 15-6) to pick up their first Pac-12 victory of the season.

It was senior Pia Timmer that had a team-high 24 kills for her season high in only the second Pac-12 match-up. Fifth-year transfer Laura Jansen was the second player to go into the 20s in kills, finishing the day with 20. The women took the match into five and ended with a hitting percentage of .550 in the decisive set.

With her 24 kills, Timmer is only two kills away from joining a new club that we’ve heard is pretty fun: the 1,000 career kill club.
