9/17/2021 1:49:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
Racer Volleyball extends winning streak to three, sweeps Cleveland State, 25-15, 25-17, 25-16.
The Murray State Racers volleyball team (6-3, 0-0 OVC) took down the Cleveland State Vikings (2-8, 0-0 Horizon) in straight sets (25-15, 25-17, 25-16) on opening day of the Dunn Hospitality Invitational.
Â
Alexa Harris was on fire as she set a new season-high, 12 kills. Harris and Brooke Lynn Watts tied for the team-lead with 12 kills apiece, both hitting .259.
Â
Becca Fernandez picked up 11 digs while Harris collected nine digs to finish just shy of her first career double-double.
Â
Morgan Price also set new career-highs with seven kills on a .467 hitting percentage. She added two solo blocks and one block assist.
The Racers jumped out to a 4-0 in the first set and extend their lead to 14-6 thanks to an 8-1 run with two kills each from Price and Harris and easily took the first set, 25-15.
In set two, Cleveland State kept things tight with the Racers until kills from Watts, Harris and Darci Metzger and an ace by Bailey DeMier ran the score to 14-8. A tip kill from Price closed out the second set, 25-17, as the Racers hit .448 in the second set with 16 kills.
The third set saw Watts heat up as she put down three kills during a 7-2 run to build the Racers lead to 18-12. Murray State won five of the last six points to close out the set and the match, 25-16.
The Racers face host Evansville tomorrow at 1 p.m. for their final game of their non-conference schedule.
