UU Finishes off Falcons on Friday Night

URBANA, Ohio (October 19, 2012) - Just one week after finishing off the Falcons in five sets at Notre Dame College, the Urbana University volleyball team completed the season sweep with a straight sets victory over their future conference foes.  The Blue Knights defeated the Falcons 25-11, 25-16, 25-23 to pick up their sixth win in their last ten matches.  NDC falls to 4-19 on the season.

The Falcons made a late charge in the third set to make the match interesting, but a key ace by freshman Kaci Eurez returned the momentum to the home team.  Freshman setter Mary Hendricks scored the game-winner on a sneaky attack on match point.  Hendricks finished with 4 kills, 21 assists, 7 digs and 3 aces.  Katlin Kremer (pictured above) hit .500, recording 6 kills on 12 attempts.  The redshirt freshman also had a match-high 9 blocks, including 7 block assists.  Sophomore Kelsey Volkmer reached double digit kills, finishing with 14 in 34 attempts, and senior Karla Vogel had a team-best 9 digs in addition to a kill and 4 assists.

Urbana stays home to host their third straight home match on Tuesday night.  Central State University comes to town for a conference showdown.  Urbana is 3-1 in the G-MAC this season, including a straight sets sweep at CSU ten days ago.  Tuesday night's match against the Marauders begins at 7:00 p.m. [Box Score]
