Carbondale, Ill. - Southern Illinois University Carbondale (8-10, 3-6 MVC) swept Evansville (4-15, 1-8 MVC) at home 30-28, 30-19, 30-22 on Saturday, October 13. The win gives SIU four wins in its last five matches.
"I'm glad we won. I'm glad it was in three games and I'm glad we took care of business at home. We have to keep taking advantage of these opportunities so we can reach our goal of making the tournament. When we play them next time it will be much tougher," said Sonya Locke, Saluki head coach.
"Now we have to get ready for three tough matches on the road against SMS, Wichita State and Missouri."
Kristie Kemner led the Salukis with 17 kills and 9 digs while hitting .438 (17 kills, 3 errors, 32 attempts). Kelly Harman continued her hot hitting with a team-high .500 percentage (8 kills, no errors, 16 attempts). Lindsey Schultz was right behind her with a .438 outing (8 kills, 1 error, 16 attempts).
Megan Baumstark passed out 44 assists with 6 digs and Jenny Noel added 6 kills, 10 digs and 4 block assists. Tara Cains hit .385 (6 kills, 1 error, 13 attempts) with 9 digs, a solo block and 3 block assists. Lisa Vodin added 8 digs.
SIU hit .353 to .217 for Evansville and passed out 46 assists to just 28 for the Purple Aces.
The Salukis will embark on a three game road trip next week featuring matches against SMS (Oct. 19), Wichita State (Oct. 20) and Missouri (Oct. 22).
