Early Deficit Foils #ORUVB at South Dakota

The Basics
Score: Oral Roberts 1 – South Dakota 3
Records: ORU (4-11, 0-1 SL) – USD (12-1, 1-0 SL)
Location: Sanford Coyote Sports Center (Vermillion, S.D.)

 

VERMILLION, S.D. – The Oral Roberts volleyball team could not recover from an early deficit on the road falling in four sets to South Dakota (21-25, 15-25, 25-19, 19-25) opening the 2019 Summit League campaign Friday night inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center.

 

The Golden Eagles quickly jumped to a 5-1 lead on the Coyotes in the first set scoring in all facets of the contest, but a late run from the home side ended a home set victory.

 

USD, the reigning Summit League tournament champions, broke a 10-10 tie in the second stanza by scoring 15 of the last 20 points to claim the frame. ORU used a 7-1 stretch early in the third to set the tone and continued to push around the Coyotes to win, 25-19.

 

The Golden Eagles were unable to carry the momentum into the fourth set as USD scored early and closed out the conference opener for both sides.

 

Inside the Box Score

  • CeCe Madison led ORU with an 18-kill effort and tallied eight digs.
  • Sylvia Lawson keyed the defensive effort for the Golden Eagles with a team-leading 15 digs and finished the double-double adding 29 set assists.
  • Inka Inkret added seven kills and reached double figures in digs with 13, while Sarah Thiessen totaled 11 digs.
  • Taylan Nero and Bri Greenlee each registered three block assists, while Nero led all players with three service aces of ORU's six.
