Racers Take a Set at UCLA - Fall in First Round of NCAA Tournament
12/3/2016 1:57:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
The Murray State volleyball team's season came to an end late Friday night in Los Angeles, Calif., in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament as the Racers fell to No. 10 national seed UCLA in four sets. The Racers were able to lead the first set wire-to-wire to take an early 1-0 lead on the strength of a 25-21 victory and became the first team in program history to win a set in the NCAA Tournament. The Bruins, however, would rally to win the final three sets of the match, 25-18, 25-15 and 25-9.
The loss snaps the Racers' 15-match winning streak which was the second-longest streak in program history. MSU finishes the season 23-9 and for the second time in the last three seasons, the Racers' season ends at the NCAA Tournament.
Three-time OVC Player of the Year Scottie Ingram closed her illustrious career in grand fashion as she recorded a match-high 24 kills and hit .339. Ingram ends her career in a Racer uniform extending her program record of career kills to 1,598. Ingram also tallied her 24th double-double of the season as she recorded 14 digs in the match.
Kristen Besselsen ends her career with a 10-kill performance while Dacia Brown, Rachel Giustino and Kamille Jones chipped in with five kills each. Setter Hannah Stultz, who also played her final match at MSU, recorded a match-high 40 assists and had 11 digs while Ellie Lorenz notched 25 digs to cap her fantastic career.
Besselsen ends up 10th all-time in career kills with 1,050 and Lorenz's 1,875 career digs are the fourth-most in Racer history. Lorenz's 647 digs this season are the second-most for a single season in MSU history.
MSU ended up hitting .156 for the match while the Bruins (25-6) hit .333 on the night. UCLA also had nine blocks and seven service aces in the match.
In the past three seasons, the Racers have won 76 matches overall, including 44 in OVC play and have claimed three consecutive OVC regular season titles, while also appearing in the NCAA Tournament twice.
