Bulldogs Sweep Matadors to Open Fresno State Invitational
9/3/2021 8:31:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
FRESNO, Calif. - The CSUN women's volleyball team had trouble getting on track offensively Friday in a 25-12, 25-17, 25-14 loss to Fresno State in the Matadors' opener of the Fresno State Invitational at Save Mart Center.
The Matadors (1-3) hit a season-low .014 (21-20-74) in the loss while the host Bulldogs hit .375 (41-11-80) in improving to 1-1.
KEY STATISTICS
• Senior Nicole Nevarez and sophomore Taylor Orshoff each had five kills to lead the Matadors with Nevarez hitting .125 on 16 swings. Orshoff hit .059 on 17 attacks while also posting three digs.
• Seyvion Waggoner added four kills (.067) while Lauryn Anderson chipped in three kills (.000). CSUN's leading hitter Taylor Hunter was limited to a pair of kills (-.250) but did have four blocks.
• Setters Carisa Barron and Madison Klungel combined for 16 assists, five digs and one ace while libero Makayla Bradford had a team-high six digs.
• A pair of Fresno State hitters reached double figures as Desiree Sukhov had a match-high 13 kills (.476) while Grace Doyle added 10 kills on .533 hitting. The Bulldogs' Ella Rud had four aces as Fresno State out-aced the Matadors 10-1.
COACH SUSIE TERRUSAÂ SAID
"We were beaten in every phase of the game tonight, but that happens with young and inexperienced teams. We are looking forward to the opportunity to bounce back tomorrow against a very good LMU team."
SET 1
Waggoner's kill at 1-1Â in the opening stage of the match gave the Matadors their only lead of the set. The hosts scored three straight to take a 4-2 lead and would never look back. A Sukhov service error pulled CSUN within 4-3 but five straight Fresno State points forced a Matador timeout at 9-3. The hosts extended the lead to as many as 10 at 16-6 when Waggoner's swing was stuffed by the Bulldog block. Still leading by double figures at 19-9, Fresno State outscored the Matadors 6-3 over the final nine points to seal the set 25-12.
SET 2
The Matadors remained within one at 5-4 following a Hunter kill before the Bulldogs used a 6-2 run to open up an 11-6 cushion. Kills from Anderson and Waggoner trimmed the lead to 11-8 but an ensuing 8-1 Fresno State run forced a Matador timeout at 19-9. Consecutive kills by Nevarez cut the lead to 19-11 before four straight points put the Bulldogs on the cusp of a two-set lead at 23-11. A hitting error by Fresno State propelled the Matadors on a 6-0 run which temporarily cut the lead to 23-17 before the Bulldogs took advantage of a Nevarez service rror and an ace to take the set 25-17.
SET 3
The hosts scored the first five points of the final set and CSUN would not get within four points the rest of the way. Trailing 10-3, the Matadors used three straight Bulldog hitting errors to pull within 10-6. Remaining within reach at 12-7, CSUN saw Fresno State claim the next four points to open up a 16-7 lead and the Bulldogs were not threatened the rest of the set.
