Cardinals Take a Set Off No. 23 Lewis for First Time

The William Jewell volleyball team dropped a 3-1 decision at Lewis University but gave the No. 23 ranked Flyers all they could handle, including taking a set for the first time in program history. The Cardinals drop to 8-18 overall and 2-10 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. 

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Set One: The Flyers used a 8-4 run early in the opener turn take a six point lead from which the Cardinals could not recover. Jewell pulled within four but a late 7-1 run extended the Flyer lead to 10 and pushed them to the set win, 25-17. 
  • Set Two: The Cardinals battled point-for-point with Lewis until a 5-1 run put Jewell on top 24-20 late, capped by a kill from Raechel Meisinger. After a timeout, the Flyers scored twice, to pull within two but a kill by Lauren Castaneda sealed the set and tied the match at one. 
  • Set Three: The Cardinals jumped out to a 12-9 lead early in set three only to see Lewis tie things up at 14. The two teams traded points until late in the sate when the Flyers used a 6-1 run to turn an 18-18 game into a 24-19 lead. Back-to-back Flyer attack errors gave Jewell life and pulled them within three but a Lewis kill ended the set. 
  • Set Four: Jewell again jumped out to an early advantage in set four, leading by as many as six led by two kills from Meisinger to force a Lewis timeout. The Flyers responded with a 14-5 run to retake the lead 20-17. Kills from Tori Vogt and Elizabeth Quinn, combined with a Lewis error tied the set once again at 20 but the Flyers scored five of the final six points to take the match. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • The Cardinals posted a .147 attack percentage and held Lewis to a .198 clip, which is just ninth time this season a team has done so. Despite the nearly .200 attack percentage by the 23rd ranked Flyers, the Cardinals had Lewis hitting just .098 after two sets. 
  • The two teams tied in the blocking category with eight a piece, while Lewis had four aces to the Cardinals three. 

LEADERS OF THE FLIGHT
YOU SHOULD NOTE
  • After going 0-6 with six consecutive sweeps against Lewis, the set two win over the Flyers is the first in program history for Jewell. 
  • Richterkessing's 27 digs were just one off her career high. 

UP NEXT
The Cardinals wrap up the weekend at Indianapolis at Saturday afternoon. First serve is set for 3 p.m. EST
