Matadors Fall 3-0 in Sacramento State Invitational Opener
9/10/2021 12:39:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sophomore Taylor Orshoff posted a team-high eight kills but the CSUN Women's Volleyball team dropped the opener of the Sacramento State Invitational to the host Hornets in straight sets Friday at the Nest at Colberg Court.
Set scores Friday morning were 25-22, 25-20, 25-9 as Sacramento State improves to 3-3 on the season. The Matadors slip to 1-5 on the young season.
KEY STATISTICS
• Orshoff led the Matadors with eight kills, hitting .120 on 25 attacks. The sophomore from Riverside also added a pair of digs, one assist and one block. Senior Nicole Nevarez matched Orshoff with 8.5 points in the match, adding seven kills (.045), seven digs and a pair of block assists.
• Sophomore Lauryn Anderson had her best match of the season against the Hornets, putting down six kills on nine errorless attacks to hit .667. Anderson also added a season-high three digs along with a pair of blocks. Seyvion Waggoner also had six kills, hitting .231 on 16 swings.
• Setters Carisa Barron and Madison Klungel combined for 25 assists as Barron had 13 assists and seven digs while Klungel posted 12 assists and five digs. Senior Lexi McLeod led all players in the match with 15 digs in the loss.
• The Matadors enjoyed their best hitting effort of the season in set one, connecting at a .406 clip but could not replicate that in the final two sets. For the match, CSUN hit .096 (34-24-104) compared to .280 (36-8-100) for the Hornets.
• Bridgette Smith led Sacramento State with 10 kills (.242) and four aces while Kalani Hayes added nine kills on .615 hitting.
COACH SUSIE TERRUSAÂ SAID
"I thought we played our best volleyball of the season in set one. The ability is there. We now have to work on maintaining that level of play throughout the match. It is a process that we will keep working on every day."
SET 1
After the hosts opened up a 6-3 lead in the early going, the Matadors used a 5-0 run - capped by a Waggoner kill - to take their first lead at 7-6. After the teams traded sideouts until 9-9, Nevarez put up a solo stuff to put CSUN back in front 10-9. A Nevarez kill gave the Matadors their largest lead of the set at 12-10 and CSUN maintained a two-point cushion at 13-11 following another Nevarez put-away. Three straight points by the Hornets put the hosts back in front to stay (15-13). Sac State would go on to lead by as many as four before a Waggoner kill trimmed the lead to 20-18. After the hosts built the lead back to four at 23-19, the Matadors scored three straight to pull within 23-22 following a Hornet hitting error. But Sac State used a pair of CSUN miscues over the final two points to take the set 25-22.
SET 2
The Hornets took advantage of some early Matador hitting errors to take a 5-0 lead before CSUN began to chip away at the lead. Still down three at 8-5, the Matadors used a 5-0 run to take a 10-8 lead following a Nevarez kill. CSUN maintained one-point leads at 10-9, 11-10, 13-12 and 14-13 before three straight Sac State points gave the hosts a 16-14 lead. The second of consecutive Anderson kills pulled the Matadors within one at 18-17 before two straight Sac State points forced a CSUN timeout at 20-17. The lead grew to four (22-18) when the Matadors called their final timeout before the Hornets closed the set 25-20.
SET 3
The Hornets bolted to a 7-1 lead in the final frame and never looked back. A Sac State block gave the hosts a double-figure lead at 14-4 and CSUN would get no closer than nine points the remainder of the set.  Â
