Volleyball falls to Northern Iowa on Senior Day
11/12/2017 | 7:20:00 | Women's Volleyball
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois volleyball team fell to the Northern Iowa Panthers, 3-0 (25-16, 25-20, 25-19) on senior day Sunday inside Davies Gym. Three Salukis had six kills each, including a team-best nine kills from Patience Brown.
The Panthers improve to 24-7 and 14-3 in MVC play, while the Salukis fall to 6-21 and 5-11 in the Valley.
KEY MOMENTS
-The Panthers never trailed in set one. The Salukis got to within one, 10-9 on an ace by Abby Barrow, but a 5-1 run by the Panthers quickly made it a five-point UNI lead (15-10). That was as close as SIU could get in the opening set, as Northern Iowa scored four-straight points to win the frame, 25-16.
-Northern Iowa hit .444 in set two and committed just three attack errors through two sets. SIU got to within two on a kill by Nellie Fredriksson that brought the crowd to its feet at 22-20, but three-straight points by the Panthers following a timeout quelled any chance of a comeback.
-The Salukis limited the Panthers to a .222 hitting percentage in the third set and forced seven attack errors. Northern Iowa, however, continued to hit at SIU's setters and kept Southern out of system. SIU hit .111 in the third frame and got to within four, 23-19, but back-to-back points by the Panthers ended the match.
KEY STATS
-All six seniors got to play in their last match at Davies Gym in front of an energetic crowd. Abby Barrow had six kills and
team-high 11 digs while Andrea Estrada added six kills and six digs. Kolby Meeks hit .308 with five kills and Nellie Fredriksson had four kills. Ashley Edelen tallied 10 digs, which marked the 24th time this season she has reached double figures. Gabriella Shepherd entered the match in the third set to serve.
-Patience Brown put down nine kills against one error for a .364 hitting percentage. She added four blocks.
-Alayna Martin recorded her 10th double-double with 18 assists and 10 digs while Rachel Maguire had 13 assists and seven digs.
