Pacific Holds Off CSUN in Four Sets in Sacramento
9/11/2021 11:59:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The CSUN Women's Volleyball team got off to a quick start for the second straight match before dropping the final three sets to the Pacific Tigers in the finale of the Sacramento State Invitational Saturday at the Nest at Colberg Court.
Set scores were 14-25, 25-15, 25-21, 26-24 as Pacific improves to 3-6 on the season. The Matadors slip to 1-7 before wrapping up the pre-conference schedule in Nevada next weekend.
KEY STATISTICS
• Sophomore Taylor Orshoff led the Matadors on Saturday with eight kills (.161) while matching her career-high with four blocks.
• Senior Lexi McLeod, who was named to the all-tournament team, got off to an impressive start with five kills on 12 errorless swings (.417) over the first two sets before finishing the match with seven kills on 23 swings (.087). After notching her first double-double of the season Friday against Boise State, McLeod narrowly missed her second straight by adding 19 digs against Pacific.
• Fellow senior Nicole Nevarez also had seven kills (.100) while adding 15 digs as the Matadors posted a 69-64 edge in team digs. Libero Makayla Bradford scooped up a match-high 21 digs in the loss. Lauryn Anderson and Seyvion Waggoner each chipped in six kills with Anderson hitting a match-high .400 on 15 errorless attacks.
• Setters Carisa Barron and Madison Klungel combined for 34 assists while each had five digs.
• As was the case against Boise State on Friday, CSUN hit well in the opening set win (.207) but would hit .105 as a team over the final three sets. The Matadors wound up hitting .127 (39-22-134) as a team while Pacific won the match despite hitting .076 (44-32-158) as a team. The Tigers did help themselves with 12 aces to CSUN's four.Â
• Ramonni Cook and Darina Kumanova each had a match-high 10 kills to lead the Tigers.
COACH SUSIE TERRUSAÂ SAID
"We are definitely getting better and the players are battling every point. When we were down in set three we fought back and tied it up. I saw improvement in every match this weekend which is what our goal has been throughout this preseason."
SET 1
With the score tied at 4-4 in the early stages of the match, a co-block from Anderson and McLeod propelled the Matadors on a 4-0 run which opened up an 8-4 lead. A Nevarez kill would give CSUN its largest lead of the set at 13-5 before a late 7-0 run extended the Matador lead to as many as 11 at 23-12. CSUN, which hit .207 in the set to Pacific's -.116, then took advantage of a pair of Tiger miscues over the final two points to seal the 25-14 win.
SET 2
The Tigers claimed the first four points of the set before the Matadors immediately answered with a 6-1 run to take a 6-5 lead. But Pacific put together a decisive 12-2 run over the next 14 points to open up a 17-8 advantage. An Anderson kill kept CSUN within six at 17-9 but the Matadors could pull no closer in dropping the set 25-15.
SET 3
The Tigers bolted out to an 8-1 lead in the third set before an Orshoff kill and a Bradford ace ended the run. After trailing by as many as eight points (12-4), the Matadors got a kill from Anderson that propelled CSUN on a 4-0 run that trimmed the deficit to 12-8. Following a Pacific timeout, Klungel was whistled for a setting error before claimed four of the next five points to pull within 14-12. Pacific pushed the lead back to three at 16-13 before the Matadors engineered a 5-2 run to knot the score at 18-18 on kills from McLeod and Waggoner. Another kill by Waggoner following a Tiger timeout gave CSUN its final lead at 19-18 as Pacific out-scored the Matadors 7-2 over the final nine points to take a 25-21 win.
SET 4
The final set turned out to be the tightest of the match as the two teams battled to a 12-12 tie. A Tiger hitting error followed by a block by Orshoff and Taylor Hunter gave the Matadors a 14-12 edge before Pacific went on a 7-1 run to re-take the lead 19-15. CSUN came back with a 6-1 run of its own, using a Pacific hitting error to take a 21-20 lead. Hunter's kill kept the Matadors in front at 23-22 before the Tigers claimed four of the final five points in a 26-24 win.
