Ladyjacks Sweep Away Demons on Homecoming
10/26/2024 2:50:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
NACOGDOCHES, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin volleyball team (17-6, 9-1 SLC) hosted the Northwestern State Demons (6-12, 1-8 SLC) for a homecoming Battle of the Sabine matchup.
After Northwestern State scored the first point of the match, SFA went on a 4-0 run with a kill from Camryn Hill, Kennedy Jones, Jayden Flynn, and Katherine Holtman. NSU came back and tied the match up at four with two kills of their own. Both teams sided out the next several points, but the SFA offense got hot again with another four-point spurt that included two kills from Izabella Ortiz, one from Hill and one from Molly Cravens. The Lady Demons kept the set close as they cut the lead down to two before SFA went on their third 4-0 run of the set to take a 18-12 lead after another kill from Holtman. NSU kept fighting the rest of the set, but Hill finished off the first set with a kill, 25-18.
Both teams traded blows in the first set as neither team held more than an three-point lead until SFA went on a mini run in the middle of the set to take a 15-10 lead. The Ladyjacks offense finished the second set with an 8-2 run which included two kills from Holtman, one from Hill, Jones, and Kyanna Creecy for a 25-15 second set victory.
SFA went on a dominating seven-point run at the beginning of the third set which included two kills from Holtman, Jones and Creecy, 8-1. The 'Jacks were able to slowly extend their lead to double digits as they took a 16-5 lead off a kill by Cravens and an ace from Ortiz. The SFA offense did not take their foot off the gas as they recorded five more kills before finishing off the match with a 25-12 third set victory for their 13th sweep of the season.
Top Players of the Match:
• Camryn Hill: 10 kills (tied team lead), .529 hitting percentage (led team), eight digs
• Kennedy Jones: 10 kills (tied team lead), .429 hitting percentage, one ace
• Jayden Flynn: 21 assists (led team), 11 digs (led team), seventh double-double of the season
• Izabella Ortiz: six kills, two aces (led team), one block
