Jewell Pushes No. 13 Northwest Missouri State to the Brink but Fall in Five

LIBERTY, Mo. - The William Jewell volleyball wrapped up the inaugural Kansas City Classic on their home floor on Saturday with a heartbreaking five set loss to No. 13 ranked Northwest Missouri State. The Cardinals held a 2-0 set lead but couldn't hold off the Bearcat surge late to fall to 1-3 on the opening weekend.  

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Cardinals jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead, aided by three kills and a block from Bella LaPorta. Jewell continued their strong start, pushing their advantage to six after three straight kills from LaPorta, Anna Godfredsen and Katy Garrison to make it a commanding 17-11 lead. NWMSU got back within three but the Cardinals scored the four point to take the opener 25-18.
  • Set two started off more competitive but Jewell used an 8-2 run go in front 18-13 after an Godfredsen kill. The Bearcats again rallied to get within three but Godfredsen put two more down to seal the set 25-23. 
  • The Cardinals looked as though they might cruise to a sweep, jumping out to a 13-6 advantage in set three but Northwest had other plans, going on a 17-6 run to go on top 23-19. An error late, made it a two-point set but Northwest got a kill from Lauren Casey to win 25-22 and stay alive. 
  • Set four was a battle, as the Bearcats grabbed an early 14-11 lead only to see the Cardinals come back and get within one. Trailing 23-18 late, Jewell scored five of the next six to get within one but a service error gave Northwest the set 25-23 and forced the finale. 
  • The Bearcats carried all their momentum from the end of the fourth into the start of the deciding fifth, grabbing a 10-1 lead and never looked back, winning 15-5.
