Cardinals Rally to Defeat Truman State

The William Jewell volleyball team took down Truman State 3-1 on Friday evening in the Mabee Center. After dropping the first set the Cardinals came storming back to win the final three and move to 5-10 on the season and 2-4 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. 

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • SET ONE: The Cardinals and Bulldogs traded points in the opening set until a 4-0 spurt put Truman on top 24-19 late. The Cards got back-to-back kills from Maddie Wingert to pull within two at 24-22 but a Truman kill ended the rally. 
  • SET TWO: After dropping the opener, Jewell came out firing on all cylinders in set two as they grabbed a 12-1 lead and never looked back. An error by the Bulldogs gave Jewell the 14 point win at 25-11. 
  • SET THREE: Jewell again jumped out to any lead but this time Truman responded, pulling within two at 19-17. The Cards got two kills from Grace Miller and an ace from Alix Weigel to put the Bulldogs away 25-19. 
  • SET FOUR: The finale was a battle as the Cardinals took an 8-2 lead only to see Truman pull within one at 22-21. However, a service error by the Bulldogs and two Jewell kills put the set away 25-22 and gave the Cardinals the 3-1 win. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
  • Neither team was able to get rolling offensively as the each hit less than .100 on the night. 
  • The Cardinals used a .244 attack percentage in set three to pull away and take the 2-1 lead. 
  • Truman State out-blocked Jewell 11-4 but the Cardinals posted a season-high eight service aces. 

LEADERS OF THE FLIGHT:
  • Wingert and Stefanie Richterkessing led Jewell with 11 kills a piece as the latter posted a team best .273 attack percentage. 
  • Olivia Tolberd led four players in double figures with 31 digs. Alix Weigel posted 18, Richterkessing 14, and Kennedy Ruck 11. 
  • Richterkessing also grabbed four aces which ties her career high. 
  • Weigel collected a game high 40 assists. 

YOU SHOULD NOTE:
  • Freshman Tori Vogt collected new career highs with eight kills, 33 attacks, and two digs. 
  • The win marks Jewell's first victory over Truman State since moving to NCAA II, after having lost the previous six matches.
