The Wolves were unable to rebound and fell behind quickly in the second set. After a 7-7 tie, the Trojans took control and went on a 18-4 run to end the set 25-11.
Vanessa Blas recorded eight kills and Taylor Garrison had 13 assists.
The Wolves were held to a season-low 10 points in the final set.
"Thankfully we have a long week of practice to clean up our skills and systems."Â
