<p>PRICE – Utah State Eastern volleyball lost 3-0 to the second-ranked Salt Lake Community College Bruins in Taylorsville on Saturday.</p>
<p>Coming off one of the biggest wins in program history on Friday night over #3 College of Southern Idaho, the Eagles had a quick turnaround to take on another top program.</p>
<p>The Eagles started out slow in the first set with a 25-15 loss to the Bruins.</p>
<p>"The energy was definitely lacking in the first set. It took us a bit to get going and settle in," said USU Eastern Head Coach
Danielle Jensen.</p>
<p>USU Eastern had three service errors and six attack errors in the first set.</p>
<p>The second set would be the closest of the game and the Eagles would fight to the end but lose 25-23.</p>
<p>During the set the Eagles would only have three errors and an game-high .360 attack percentage.</p>
<p>"The girls started to play defense and play with more energy. We had to eliminate errors and put up a block and they did that in the second set," said Jensen.</p>
<p>In the third set the Bruins would close out the Eagles with a 25-20 win to complete the sweep.</p>
<p>The Eagles had only 12 errors in the game with six crucial service errors as well. </p>
<p>Jensen said that her team's serving was something that didn't go the way she would like on Saturday.</p>
<p>"We did execute well on serving today and that hurt us. We need to keep the pressure on them with our serves and we didn't do that," said Jensen.</p>
<p>
Mackenzie Carter led the Eagles in kills with nine while contributing on defense with six digs.</p>
<p>Freshman setter
Siara Roberts finished the game with 29 assists and a team-high eight digs along with an ace and three blocks.</p>
