McPherson, Kan. – In their final home game of the year, the MC volleyball team lost a 3-0 match to the soon to be KCAC Regular Season Champion Ottawa University Braves on Wednesday night. OU was a very efficient team and the Bulldogs tallied too many errors to keep pace.
The opening set started off close but then a couple of runs by Ottawa pushed them to a lead that the Bulldogs could not catch, giving OU the set 25-16. In the second, the Braves roared out of the gate for a 7-1 advantage; the 'Dogs pulled within four midway through the set but a 10-1 run by Ottawa ended the set at 25-12. The third set was again all OU as McPherson couldn't get anything going; the Braves won the set 25-8.
Taryn Lee led MC in kills with eight on 20 tries; she also had a pair of block assists. Leia Seiler tallied 7 kills and was followed by fellow freshman Lexi Kite who had six.
Maci Schlehuber was the lone setter who hit double-digits in assists with her 14. Rhianna Smith logged nine in the three-set match.
Emily Warner tallied 14 digs in the contest. Jocelyn Cochran was next on the list with nine.
The final match of the year for McPherson is this Saturday in Winfield, Kansas against the 8-22, 4-14 Southwestern College Moundbuilders starting at 7:00 p.m. (CT)
