BUFFALO, N.Y. - - Led by three players with double digit kills, the Ball State women's volleyball team secured a spot in the 2026 MAC Women's Volleyball Championship with a second straight sweep at Buffalo Saturday afternoon.
In winning the match 3-0 (25-17, 25-20, 25-20), the Cardinals improved to 18-7 (9-5 MAC) and guaranteed itself a top six finish in the league standings along with a spot in the tournament to be played November 20-22 inside Worthen Arena.
In Saturday's sweep of the Bulls (14-11; 6-8 MAC), junior outside Audrey Geer turned in a dominating performance, leading all players with 13 kills and 14 digs. It was Geer's seventh double-double of the season and the 20th of her collegiate career. She also served up one of BSU's five aces, while hitting .333 (13-4-27) on the night.
Junior outside Ava Smith chipped in 11 kills and a .267 (11-3-30) hitting mark, while senior middle Camryn Wise blasted 10 kills and hit a match-best .409 (10-1-22). Both also added a solo block, while Wise collected two digs and Smith tallied one.
Overall, senior setter Lindsey Green and freshman setter Lucy McCollum combined to lead the Ball State offense to a .325 (48-11-114) hitting mark. Green tied for match-high honors with 26 assists, while chipping on nine digs and an ace. McCollum added 14 assists and four digs.
Along with Geer's match-high 14 digs, junior libero Sophie Ledbetter added 11 and freshman outside Mallory Pike corralled 11 to help BSU finish the match with a 54-to-45 advantage in total digs.
Pike would also add five kills, while junior opposite Tiffany Snook notched six and senior middle Gwen Crulladded three.
On the other side of the net, Hailey Campagna led Buffalo with 12 kills, while Manoela Forlin added a team-high 12 digs. Overall, the Ball State defense limited Buffalo to a .224 (37-13-107) hitting percentage.
The Ball State women's volleyball team closes out the 2026 regular season next weekend with a 6 p.m. home match versus Kent State Friday and a 4 p.m. first serve at Eastern Michigan Saturday.
