USC Men’s Volleyball hosted Pepperdine at Galen Center on April 3, 2025. The Waves took the first set 25-23 and the match stayed close for the duration. The Trojans turned things around in a nail-biting four set battle, winning the last three sets 26-24, 25-22, 25-23. USC opposite Jack Deuchar led the USC offense with 16 kills, but left the match in the 3rd set and did not return. Pin hitter and usual team leader Dillon Klein struggled (6 kills, .048) as he seemed to twist his right knee and did not play the fourth set; he was seen on the sidelines with an ice wrap. Stepping up for the Trojans were pin hitter Sterling Foley (10 kills, .308) as well as middles Parker Tomkinson (12 kills, .579) and Guy Genis (6 kills, .545). The Waves were led by Ryan Burnett (22 kills, .341) and Cole Hartke (15 kills, .220).
