7-0 in #MACtion, Women’s Volleyball Completes Weekend Sweep of Toledo
October 11, 2025 | Women's Volleyball
MUNCIE, Ind. - - For the second straight outing, the Ball State women's volleyball offense shined against the league's top defense, connecting for a .308 (52-11-133) attack percentage for a 3-1 (25-16, 19-25, 25-12, 25-19) victory over Toledo Saturday afternoon in Worthen Arena.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 7-0 in Mid-American Conference play and run its overall record to 11-8. Like Friday night's thriller, the Rockets (14-5; 5-2 MAC) had a tough time slowing the MAC's top offense despite entering the weekend with the league's lowest attack percentage against at .133.
Leading the charge for Ball State were the outside duo of sophomore Carson Tyler and graduate Noelle VanOort. One night after registering a career-high 29 kills versus UT, Tyler smashed a match-best 17 kills to run her string of consecutive matches in double figures to 25, including all 19 this season and the last six a year ago. Tyler also put together a string of three straight service aces in the opening set, while finishing with a match-high four.
VanOort reached double-digit kills for the 15th time this season, while also hitting .325 (15-2-40) for the match. Junior middle Camryn Wise was just shy of double-digits, smashing nine kills and hitting a team-best .450 (9-0-20). She was also credited with a match-high seven total blocks to help the Cardinals hold a 14.0 to 4.0 advantage for the contest.
The 14.0 total blocks were the most for the Cardinals in a match this season and included six from junior middle Gwen Crull and a Ball State career-high five from graduate opposite Christyn Ashby. Also adding to the blocking tally were Tyler and sophomore opposite Tiffany Snook with three apiece and VanOort with one.
Guiding the Cardinals offense were the setter duo of junior Lindsey Green and freshman Reese Axness who dished out 23 assists apiece. Green would also finish the day with six digs, while Anxess collected five.
Leading the Ball State backcourt was sophomore libero Sophie Ledbetter with a match-high 21 digs. Sophomore defensive specialist Elizabeth Tabeling also added 12. Their effort helped the Cardinals hold a 67 to 57 edge in total digs, while the combined play on defense limited Toledo to a .178 (54-27-152) hitting mark.
Olivia Heitkamp led a trio of Rockets in double figures with 13 kills, while Grace Freiberger secured a team-high 13 digs. UT's Kelsey Smith led all players with 45 assists.
The Ball State women's volleyball team returns to action Thursday, when it travels to Bowling Green for a 6 p.m. first serve versus the defending MAC regular season champion Falcons. BGSU enters the match with a 12-7 (6-1 MAC) record, with its only league loss coming to Toledo this past Tuesday.
