Orshoff's Career-High Not Enough as Matadors Fall to Titans in Four Sets
10/8/2021 9:55:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – Sophomore Taylor Orshoff's career-high 17 kills weren't enough as the CSUN Women's Volleyball team fell in four sets to visiting Cal State Fullerton in a Big West match Friday at The Matadome.
Set scores were 25-20, 25-23, 22-25, 25-22 as the Titans improve to 5-7 overall and 2-3 in the Big West. The loss drops the Matadors to 2-13 overall and 1-4 in conference play.
KEY STATISTICS
• Orshoff led all hitters in the match, setting a career-high with 17 kills while taking a career-high 52 swings. The sophomore from Riverside hit .173 while also adding two digs and one block assist.
• Senior Nicole Nevarez also reached double figures with 10 kills (.000) to go with eight digs and three solo blocks. Lauryn Anderson and Lexi McLeod each chipped in eight kills while McLeod set a new career-high with 26 digs. Senior Makayla Bradford recorded a season-high 25 digs for CSUN in the loss.
• Setter Carisa Barron posted a season-high 28 assists along with nine digs while Madison Klungel added 16 assists and a pair of digs.
• CSUN hit .149 (54-25-192) as a team while the Titans hit .162 (51-24-167). Fullerton also had a slight edge in digs (98-83) and aces (4-2) while each team posted 9.0 team blocks.
• Makena Ala'ilima-Daley and Gabrielle Barcelos each had 11 kills to lead Cal State Fullerton.
COACH SUSIE TERRUSA SAID
"Every set was tight tonight. I thought we made too many errors at critical times; we had our chances but didn't convert. Lexi had a good all-around match attacking and defending. We'll regroup and look to bounce back against Long Beach State tomorrow night."
FIRST SET
The visitors got out to a quick start, using a 5-1 run to extend a 7-5 to 12-6 following a Barcelos kill. The Matadors pulled within five (12-7) following a CSUN timeout before the Titans pushed their lead to eight at 17-9 forcing a second CSUN timeout. The Fullerton lead swelled to as many as nine before the Matadors put together a late rally as a pair of Orshoff kills trimmed the deficit to 23-19. A final kill from Nevarez cut the lead to three before Fullerton scored the final two points in a 25-20 win.
SECOND SET
The lead would see-saw back and forth until the mid-point of the second set when the Titans used a mini 4-1 run to snap a 13-13 tie. A Fullerton hitting error pulled CSUN within two at 17-15 when the visitors engineered a 5-1 run to open up a 22-16 cushion. But an Anderson kill would fuel an ensuing 5-1 Matador run which resulted in a Titan timeout at 23-20. Fullerton was whistled for a setting error on the next point pulling the Matadors within two at 23-21 before an Ala'ilima-Daley kill set the Titans up with set point at 24-21. An Orshoff kill and a Nevarez solo stuff saved two set points before Julia Crawford's kill ended the set.
THIRD SET
Needing a win to stay in the match, the Matadors used a 4-2 run - capped by an Orshoff kill - to snap a 10-10 tie. The Titans rallied out of timeout to draw even at 14-all. A Fullerton service kept CSUN in front (15-14) and the Matadors maintained a one-point lead at 18-17 when the visitors scored four straight to take a 21-18 lead. A Titan hitting error, followed by two straight Orshoff kills pulled CSUN even and with the score still tied at 22-22, the Matadors used a hitting error and a kill and solo block from Nevarez to cap a 25-22 win.
FOURTH SET
An early kill by Nevarez gave CSUN an early 4-2 lead before the Titans rolled off six straight points to open up an 8-4 lead. The Matadors rallied back to within two on four occasions, the last at 13-11, when Fullerton used a pair of blocks to extend the lead to 15-11. Still down four at 20-16, a solo block by Anderson propelled the Matadors on a 5-2 run the closed the gap to 22-21. Orshoff would score CSUN's final point of the night with a kill at 23-22 before a pair of Crawford kills sent the Titans to the 3-1 win.

The Matadors wrap up a two-match homestand Saturday, taking on Long Beach State in The Matadome at 7 p.m.
