'Runners Hit .362 In Sweep Of South Carolina State

 

ORANGEBURG, S.C. - Fresh off a five-set thriller in Wednesday's win over Cal State Northridge, the CSUB volleyball team kept rolling Friday with a 25-20, 25-13, 25-13 win at South Carolina State in Orangeburg.

CSUB (9-10 overall) hit a season-best .362 in the match, including marks of .415 in set two and .421 in set three. Junior outside hitter Lindsay Toone (Liberty HS) led the way with career highs of 14 kills and a .433 attack percentage. Sophomore outside hitter Lindy DeGeare (Stockdale HS) enjoyed an efficient day with 12 kills against no errors for a career-best .522 attack percentage.

In fact the entire Roadrunner team attacked a record-setting pace. No Roadrunner made more than two errors as the team set an NCAA Division I era school-record for fewest attack errors with seven.

"I was a little worried early because we started a little shaky," said CSUB Head Coach John Price. "But we played very well after the first set. Now, we'll look to build on that with another strong match tomorrow."

CSUB made five of its seven errors in the first set. The Roadrunners never trailed, but they also never led by more than six as SCSU kept things interesting early.

The 'Runner offense kicked into gear in the second set. Trailing 5-3, Barbie Unfried (Bakersfield HS) served eight points in a 10-1 run that put them in control. CSUB pulled away early in the third set, ending the match fittingly with Toone's 14th kill.

CSUB was so solid in the second set that it scored 18 of its 25 points via kills, a school record under the 25-point scoring system. The 'Runners made just one error in both the second and third sets.

Elizabeth Webb led SCSU (6-11) with eight kills.

The 'Runners and Bulldogs will conclude their two-match series Saturday in Orangeburg. First serve will be at 9 a.m. PDT.
