CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee volleyball team dropped a three-set match to Northern Iowa on Saturday night at the Culvers Governors Challenge.
The Panthers (2-0) built an early lead in the first frame before going on to win, 25-10. UNI followed that by edging the Blue Raiders (0-3) in the second set, 25-11. In the final frame, Middle Tennessee entered the set with an aggressive battle back but was unable to stop the Panthers in the end to close out the match with a 25-20 victory in the third set.
Redshirt-sophomore Alyssa Mathis led the Blue Raiders offensively tallying eight kills. Meanwhile, juniors Makila York and Regan Coughlin chipped in with six digs apiece.
Defensively, sophomore setter Taylor Hammill's seven digs paced the Blue Raiders. In total, MT recorded 27 digs while UNI posted 33.
QUOTEABLE
"These matches have been a learning curve for our team. We are finally starting to scratch the surface of what elite level teams do daily as far as their intensity levels, the way they train and the way they mentality, physically, and emotionally prepare for a match. So, I'm very grateful that we get another opportunity tomorrow, to carry what we just did in that last set". – Head Coach, Chuck Crawford
NOTEABLE
- Senior Sloan Sullivan tallied a career high two aces
- Freshman Josie Maxim had her first collegiate start against the Panthers
UP NEXT
The Middle Tennessee volleyball team will travel to Nashville, Tenn. tomorrow to take on No. 24 Arizona at the Luv Invitational at 12p.m. in the Allen Arena.
