SERIES HISTORY: BRUINS VS. WILDCATS
UCLA leads the all-time series against Arizona 53-22. The teams
played just once in 2014, with the Wildcats posting a sweep in
Malibu on Sept. 26. UCLA has swept Arizona in the two most
recent matchups in Westwood (2012-2013) and is 28-9 at home
against the Wildcats. Arizona’s last win at UCLA was a sweep in
2011. Each of the last six meetings between the two teams have
gone three sets (Arizona 4-2).
SCOUTING THE ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS
Arizona State (15-2, 4-2 Pac-12) headed into last weekend’s
play undefeated, however came away with not only setbacks to
Washington and Washington State on the road, but also the loss
of its top producer on offense in senior Macey Gardner. Gardner,
the leader in kills per set at 3.73, was injured during last Friday’s
match in Seattle and did not play in Pullman. Arizona State, which
is averaging 13.31 kills, 0.93 aces, 14.93 digs and 2.85 blocks
per set with a .233 hitting percentage, turns to the triumvirate of
junior Cassidy Pickrell (2.77), senior Whitney Follette (2.11) and
junior BreElle Bailey (2.07). Senior Bianca Arellano (6.10 assists
per set) and freshman Kylie Pickrell (5.27) split the setting duties.
Sophomore Halle Harker is tops on the squad with 3.64 dps,
while Follette (1.32) and Bailey (1.12) are each averaging over
a block per set.
SERIES HISTORY: BRUINS VS. SUN DEVILS
UCLA leads the all-time series with Arizona State 67-10, but the
Sun Devils have won the last two meetings, both in five sets. The
teams met just once last season, as Arizona State won in Tempe
(Nov. 26). The Sun Devils also defeated the Bruins in Westwood
on Nov. 22, 2013. The Bruins had won six straight matchups prior
to ASU’s two-match winning streak (five sweeps).
ANDERSON AT IT AGAIN IN SWEEP OF BUFFS
Junior Jordan Anderson reached the 20-kill mark for the fifth
time this season, hitting the number on the nose, adding a .444
hitting percentage and five digs, as the 12th-ranked Bruins swept
Colorado on Sunday at the Coors Events Center. Set scores were
26-24, 25-15, 25-19.
The Bruins won their third straight match and improved to
13-3 overall, 4-2 in Pac-12 play and 11-0 in matches away from
Westwood. The Buffaloes fell to 10-8 and 2-4 in league action.
The UCLA middles had another outstanding hitting match,
combining for 12 kills and only one error in 21 attempts (.524).
Junior Claire Felix tallied six kills and no errors in 11 attempts
(.545), while junior Jennie Frager added six kills and one miscue
in 10 swings (.500) to go with four blocks.
Sophomore Reily Buechler was also in double figures in kills
with 11, redshirt junior Haley Lawless added eight and redshirt
sophomore Ryann Chandler posted 46 assists, seven digs
and two aces, setting the Bruins to a season-best .343 hitting
percentage. Junior Taylor Formico recorded 12 digs, senior
Karly Drolson added six with two aces and senior Rachel Inouye
notched five digs.
After dropping the initial point of the match, the Bruins scored
three in a row on two Lawless kills and a Drolson ace. Colorado
went on a 5-2 run to go up 6-5, but a 4-0 streak by UCLA on two
Felix kills, one from Buechler and a CU attack error put the visitors
ahead by a set-best three. Colorado stormed back with a 13-7 run
to take its own set-best lead of three at 19-16 before UCLA came
back with another run to take the opener.
At 20-18 Buffaloes, three in a row for the Bruins on an Anderson
kill, a Frager/Lawless block and a CU attack error made it 2120. Six sideouts later, the Bruins had a set point at 24-23, but it
was saved. A Buechler kill gave UCLA another try and Anderson
crushed her team-best sixth kill of the opener to finish the 26-24
win. Buechler added four kills, while Felix and Lawless had three
each. Drolson posted five digs, as the Bruins out-hit the Buffaloes
.262 to .211.
The Bruins led wire-to-wire in the second set, scoring the first five
points and nine of the first 10. Two Lawless kills, a Chandler ace,
a kill by Anderson and a Colorado attack error made it 5-0, and
after a sideout, kills by Anderson and Buechler, a Drolson ace and
another Buffalo attack error increased the lead to 9-1.
UCLA’s lead was never below seven for the rest of the set,
reaching 10 for the first of two times following Chandler’s second
ace of the second to make it 17-7. Leading 23-15, back-to-back
Anderson kills closed out the 25-15 victory. Anderson posted
six kills for the second set in a row, while Buechler and Lawless
added three apiece. Formico recorded five digs, as the Bruins outhit the Buffaloes .464 to .200.
The Bruins trailed just once at 2-1 in the third before an 8-3
run made it 9-5 UCLA. Anderson (three kills) and Buechler (two
kills and a combo block) were each a part of three points during
the run. Colorado trimmed its deficit to one at 14-13, but could
get no closer.
A 6-1 run catapulted the Bruins’ lead to a set-best six at 2014. Anderson had three kills and a solo roof during the run, Felix
added a block and Chandler and Frager combined on a roof.
Leading 23-19, the Bruins received a Buechler/Felix block to set
up match point and a Buechler kill finished the 25-19 victory.
Anderson had eight kills for the Bruins to again lead the way,
Buechler added four and Frager posted three. Formico recorded
five more digs, as the Bruins out-hit the Buffaloes .342 to .189.
SEASON BESTS FOR FELIX IN WIN AT UTAH
Junior Jordan Anderson led the 12th-ranked Bruins with 18 kills
and six digs, while junior Claire Felix had season bests in kills (11)
and hitting percentage (.667), as UCLA defeated Utah in four sets
on Friday at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Set scores were 17-25,
25-12, 25-15, 25-16.
The Bruins improved to 12-3 overall and 3-2 in Pac-12 play, while
the Utes fell to 7-9 and 1-4 in league action.
Felix had only one error in 15 attempts to go with five blocks.
Three other Bruins posted at least eight kills. Sophomore Reily
Buechler recorded nine with just one error in 22 attempts (.364),
adding nine digs in just three sets. Junior Jennie Frager notched
eight kills and four blocks, while redshirt junior Haley Lawless had
eight kills.
Redshirt sophomore Ryann Chandler set the Bruins to a .258
hitting percentage, recording 48 assists, six digs and four blocks.
Junior Taylor Formico had 16 digs and two service aces and
senior Karly Drolson notched six digs.
The Bruins had only one lead in the opening set, 1-0, after a
Utah service error to start the match. The Utes scored the next
three and UCLA was unable to get even for the rest of the set.
The Bruins were within three late in the set at 20-17, but Utah
recorded the final five points to take it 25-17. Anderson and
Frager each had three kills in the first, junior Jessyka Ngauamo
added five digs and Formico notched four, as the Bruins hit -.053
to Utah’s .194.
Set number two was a complete 180 for the Bruins, who more
than doubled up the Utes to even the match. The Bruins trailed
4-3 before scoring four in a row on two Utah attack errors, a
Buechler kill and a Frager ace to go up 7-4. Utah scored the next
two to get to within one, but could get no closer, as a 4-1 UCLA
run on kills by Buechler, Felix and Anderson and a Ute service
error made it 11-7.
But that was just the beginning for the Bruins. At 11-8, UCLA
finished the set on a 14-4 run to rout the Utes in the second.
Ten straight points on a Felix kill, back-to-back Formico aces,
consecutive Frager kills, an Anderson kill, back-to-back Utah
attack errors, another Anderson kill and a Chandler/Frager block
made it 21-8. The Bruins’ biggest lead was 14 at 23-9, as they
won the second 25-12. Anderson and Frager again paced the
Bruins with four kills each, while Buechler added three with four
digs. Formico notched four digs and two aces, as UCLA out-hit
Utah .423 to -.034.
UCLA never trailed in the third set, scoring four of the first five
on two Anderson kills, one by Frager and a Buechler solo block.
At 5-3, a Buechler kill, a Chandler/Frager roof and a Utah attack
error extended the advantage to five. With the score 13-10, the
Bruins went on a 7-1 run to break it open. A Buechler kill and
back-to-back Utah errors made it 16-10.
After a sideout, another Utah attack error, consecutive Buechler
kills and a Buechler/Felix combo block made it 20-11. Ahead
22-15, an Anderson kill and back-to-back roofs by Frager and
Lawless finished up the 25-15 victory. Anderson paced the Bruins
with six kills, while Buechler added five kills and four digs. The
Bruins out-hit the Utes .400 to .061.
The Bruins only trailed once in the fourth to finish the win. With
UCLA up 10-7, the Utes scored four straight to take an 11-10
edge. However, the Bruins responded with a 10-2 run to go up
20-13. A Lawless kill, a Felix solo block and a Utah attack error
made it 13-11. After a sideout, a Lawless kill, two Felix kills and a
Ute error increased the lead to five.
Following another sideout, a Felix kill, a Chandler/Felix block and
a Utah attack error upped it to 20-13. Utah scored the next two,
but UCLA took a set-best, nine-point lead on a Felix kill, back-toback kills by Anderson and a Ute attack error to earn nine match
points. And not surprisingly, it was Anderson who closed things
out to give the Bruins a 25-16 win. Anderson and Felix each had
five kills, Lawless added four and Formico had five digs. The
Bruins out-hit the Utes .367 to .132.

UCLA WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL WEEKLY RELEASE • OCT. 12, 2015 • PAGE 10
Michael Sealy begins his sixth season as the head coach of the UCLA women’s
volleyball team in 2015. Sealy guided the Bruins to a National Championship
in 2011.
Last season, the Bruins finished 22-12 and in a tie for fourth in the Pac-12
Conference (11-9), reaching the Regional Semifinals of the NCAA Tournament.
Five Bruins were named to the All-Pac-12 Teams in 2014, as Karsta Lowe
earned All-Pac-12, All-Region and AVCA All-America First Team accolades. Reily
Buechler, Julie Consani and Taylor Formico were named All-Pac-12 Honorable
Mention, while Buechler and Olga Strantzali were recognized on the Pac-12
All-Freshman Team.
UCLA led the country in kills (15.10) and assists (14.26) per set in 2014, the
first time the Bruins have led the nation in a stat category since 1997, while
Lowe was tops in the country in kills and points per set.
A trio of Bruins were named to the All-Pac-12 Teams in 2013, as Lowe
ICHAEL EALY
was named All-Pac-12 First Team to go with her AVCA All-Region First Team
and All-America Honorable Mention accolades. Kelly Reeves was named
EAD OACH
All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention and Claire Felix was recognized on the Pac-12
IXTH EAR
All-Freshman Team. UCLA went 15-15, recording a 6-14 mark in Pac-12 play.
The Bruins were fifth in the league in hitting percentage and kills per set and
sixth in assists per set.
ECORD
In 2012, the Bruins posted a 23-8 record, finishing in a tie for fourth in the
Pac-12 with a 14-6 mark and advancing to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. Two Bruins, Rachael Kidder
and Tabi Love, were named All-America, All-Region and All-Pac-12, while Zoë Nightingale earned All-Pac-12 Honorable
Mention accolades.
UCLA was second in the nation in kills per set (14.76), third in assists per set (13.84) and fifth in hitting percentage
(.295), which was also the second-best, single-season total in program history. The Bruins led all Pac-12 teams in hitting
and were second in kps and aps.
In 2011, Sealy led the Bruins to the program’s fourth NCAA title and seventh National Championship. The Bruins posted
a 30-6 record and defeated four-time defending champion Penn State, #1-overall seed Texas, Florida State and Illinois
en route to the championship.
Sealy was named the AVCA National Coach of the Year. The Bruins finished second in the Pac-12 with a 17-5 record. Six
players were honored on the All-Conference teams, while Kidder, the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament,
was a First Team All-America and All-Region selection.
UCLA finished fifth in the nation in assists per set (13.71) and eighth in kills per set (14.52). Among Pac-12 teams, the
Bruins ranked first in aps, second in kps and opponent hitting percentage (.160) and third in digs per set (15.95).
In his first campaign, Sealy guided the Bruins to a 22-9 record, a fourth-place finish in the Pacific-10 Conference (11-7)
and a Second-Round appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Three Bruins were named to the All-Pac-10 team in 2010,
Dicey McGraw (First Team), Lainey Gera (Honorable Mention) and Kidder (Honorable Mention), while McGraw also earned
AVCA All-Pacific Region Honorable Mention accolades.
UCLA finished in the top half of the Pac-10 in digs (2nd, 15.41), assists (4th, 13.46), kills (4th, 14.26) and aces (5th,
1.20) per set along with opponent hitting percentage (4th, .187).
Sealy spent part of the summer of 2012 in London at the Olympic Games, serving as a scout coach for the U.S. men’s
volleyball team.
UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero announced on Feb. 10, 2010 that Sealy was named head coach of the Bruin women’s
volleyball program. Sealy returned to his alma mater after spending four seasons (2006-09) as an associate head coach
at the University of Hawai’i. He was a three-time All-American and an assistant coach for four years with the UCLA men’s
volleyball team and was an assistant with the Bruin women’s volleyball program in 2005.
“We are excited to welcome back Michael Sealy to lead the women’s volleyball program,” Guerrero said. “Michael clearly
possesses the necessary credentials to allow UCLA to compete at the highest level. He is well-respected in the volleyball
community and has an enthusiastic and passionate approach towards the game. Furthermore, as a former Bruin player
and coach, he understands the tradition of excellence that has defined the volleyball programs at UCLA and I am confident
that he will continue that legacy of success with ambition and integrity.”
“I am very excited and inspired to be back at UCLA,” said Sealy. “I feel very fortunate and humbled to take over a program
with such a storied history. I would like to thank Dan Guerrero and (Senior Associate Athletic Director/Senior Women’s
Administrator) Petrina Long for giving me this opportunity and for supporting my vision for the future of the program.”
Sealy helped Hawai’i to a berth in the National Semifinals in 2009. The Rainbow Wahine recorded their second-straight,
30-win season last year, going 32-3 overall. They also posted a 16-0 mark in conference play to earn their 14th-straight
Western Athletic Conference title and went on to claim their 10th-consecutive WAC Tournament championship. Sealy’s
record during his tenure at Hawai’i was 119-19 (.862 winning percentage).
Prior to his stint at Hawai’i, Sealy coached for four seasons at UCLA, where he was an assistant on the men’s side from
2003-2006 and an assistant for the women’s volleyball team in 2005. In his lone season on the women’s side, the Bruins
posted a 20-11 record and advanced to the Regional Semifinals. With the UCLA men, Sealy was 91-38 (.705) during his
four campaigns, helping the Bruins to an NCAA Championship in 2006 and an NCAA Runner-Up finish in 2005. Sealy
was also a volunteer assistant with the Cal State Northridge men’s volleyball team in 2000 before working in the same
capacity with the UCLA men in 2001.
One of the top setters in UCLA history, Sealy was a four-year letterwinner with the Bruins from 1990-93 and ranks
fourth in Bruin annals in assists (4,749). In his senior season, Sealy and the Bruins won the program’s 14th National
Championship, going 24-3. The team captain was named the co-Most Outstanding Player of the 1993 NCAA Tournament
and also earned ASICS/Volleyball Monthly Player of the Year and AVCA All-American first-team honors. In addition, Sealy
was named an All-American in 1991 (first-team) and 1992 (third-team), as well as All-Conference three times. The Bruins
won three conference titles during Sealy’s playing days, going 80-24 (.769) during his four years.
Following his playing career in Westwood, Sealy went on to play professionally in Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and
Puerto Rico. He also played with the U.S. National Team in 1994 and 1997.
Sealy graduated from UCLA in 1993 with a degree in physiological science.
