Volleyball grabs win over Bradley at Racer Arena
Murray State volleyball takes four-set win over Bradley at Racer Arena, Friday.
The Racers built momentum early as they took the close first set 26-24 but the Braves refused to let the Racers run by taking the second set 25 to 20.
In the third set, MSU took the lead early and keeps the through the end taking the set dominantly 25 to 15.
Then the Racers sealed the match in the fourth set, after going through a close battle they were able to edge the Braves 25 to 23.
This is Bella Dearinger first start as a setter this season. She made 42 total assists to average 10.25 per set while also making nine digs, one digs away from her first career double-double.
"Bella did a good job, despite not playing a lot this year she stepped up and did well," said assistant coach, Colton Reinholtz. "She's obviously here for a reason, through our practices we push each other to get better so whenever anyone need to step up to the plate, they are ready."
Federica Nuccio made her 13th double-double of the season with 13 kills and leading the Racers in digs with 11.
Darci Metzger leads the Racers in kills and blocks with 14 and six, respectively.
"This is one of our better blocking performances," said Reinholtz. "I think our middle blockers did some good job."
The Racers made a total of 16 blocks.
MSU will go back to Racer Arena to go against Illinois State, tomorrow.
