BUFFALO, N.Y. - - The Ball State women's volleyball team opened a crucial Mid-American Conference weekend with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-17, 25-23) sweep of Buffalo Friday evening at Broadview Arena.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 17-7 (8-5 MAC) and could lock up a berth in the MAC Volleyball Championship with another victory over the Bulls (14-10; 6-7 MAC) tomorrow.
Junior outside Ava Smith once again paced the Ball State offense, blasting 12 kills and hitting .385 (12-2-26). Over the last three matches, Smith has connected for 47 kills and a 3.92 kills-per-set average. The effort includes a career-best 20 in last Friday's match versus Bowling Green.
Junior outside Audrey Geer was right behind, adding nine kills and eight digs, while senior middle Camryn Wise and junior opposite Tiffany Snook connected for seven kills apiece.
Overall, the offense connected for a .227 (42-17-110) rate of success with senior setter Lindsey Green dishing out a match-high 22 assists and freshman setter Lucy McCollum adding 12.
On the defensive front, junior libero Sophie Ledbetter paced the Ball State backcourt with 10 digs, while Green added eight and McCollum was credited with 10. The effort, along with four solo blocks, helped limit the Buffalo attack to a .189 (37-16-111) rate of success.
The Bulls' Hailey Campagna led all players with 15 kills, while Sadie Gladhill earned a match-high 11 digs.
The Ball State women's volleyball team closes its weekend series versus Buffalo with a 4 p.m. first serve back at Broadview Arena.
