Carbondale, Ill. -
Southern Illinois University Carbondale (8-13, 1-9 in MVC) jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in game one of their match with Indiana State (10-11, 4-6 in MVC), but couldn't hold off the Sycamores, losing the game and the match 15-11, 15-8, 15-10. The loss is the fifth straight for the Salukis in Missouri Valley conference play.
"We started out strong, but passing and defense have to always be there and our passing and defense hurt us tonight. It broke down and you're not going to win without those two elements. The frustration is that I don't know what we can do to be more consistent," said Sonya Locke, Saluki head coach. "We don1t have to do anything exceptional, we just have to play consistently. We won1t throw in anything new, it's going to take something old called confidence, aggression, decision making, and staying in the system. I played some different people to see if the passing and defense would be better."
Kristie Kemner led the Salukis with an 11 kill, 16 dig, 2 block assist performance. Cheryl Berg (14 kills, 11 digs) and Megan Lynch (14 kills) led the Sycamores.
The Salukis will host Illinois State on October 21 in Davies Gym at 7 p.m.
