The USC men’s volleyball team lost its seventh match in a row this Thursday, falling to Concordia University in Irvine, Calif.. The final set scores for the game were 23-25, 22-25, and 22-25.
CUI came out strong offensively against USC, setting the tone early with their first five points being kills. For the final two sets, the Trojans managed to keep themselves neck-and-neck with the eagles, but it was late-set attack errors that ultimately allowed their opponent to run ahead on the scoreboard.

USC men’s volleyball was set to open its 2021 season this week, but a positive coronavirus test within the program derailed its plans.
USC had to postpone its Jan. 30 season opener at UCLA, Feb. 4 match at home against Pepperdine and Feb. 6 match at Grand Canyon. With just a 14-game condensed regular season schedule to play this season, the Trojans will look to get back to work soon.
