GOODWELL, Okla. – A balanced attack by the Texas A&M-Kingsville volleyball team led to a sweep (25-10, 25-16, 25-18) of Oklahoma Panhandle State Wednesday night in the Oscar Williams Fieldhouse.
Valarie Moehrig paced the Javelinas with 11 kills and a .550 attack percentage.
TAMUK improved to 11-8 on the season while the Aggies are now 1-17 and have dropped 15 straight.
Ashley Bukowski recorded eight kills and
Krystal Faison added six. Ended the night with 23 assists was
Casey Klobedans. She is only 12 away from moving into seventh place on the program's career assists list.
Tying her career best of four service aces was
Abbey Wells. Finishing the contest with 14 digs was
Brett Zaccardo while Klobedans had nine.
Other than a 3-3 tie, the Blue and Gold led the entire first set. The Javelinas hit .417 with 12 kills and held the Aggies to just six kills and a .037 attack percentage. Bukowski had four kills and a .571 attack percentage and Wells recorded all of her service aces in the stanza.
Jumping out to a 3-1 advantage in set two was OPSU. The Javelinas responded with a 10-3 burst that was capped off by two bad Aggie sets. TAMUK did not trail the rest of the way and Moehrig closed out the set with a kill.
The Blue and Gold went up early but the home team responded by taking their largest lead of the match at 7-5. Slowly TAMUK fought back to tie the score and then traded points with OPSU until using a 7-1 run to solidified their victory.
A trip to Portales, New Mexico on Friday awaits the Blue and Gold for an 8 p.m. CT match against Eastern New Mexico.
