The Southern Illinois University volleyball team fell to the Drake Bulldogs, 3-0 (20-25, 21-25, 18-25) in Missouri Valley Conference action Friday night inside the Knapp Center.
Inside the match
• The Bulldogs put together the first scoring run of the opening set, as they used a 4-1 spurt to break an 8-all tie. Southern got to within one, 12-11 courtesy of back-to-back points, but Drake answered with four-straight points to increase its lead to five, 16-11.
• Drake grew its lead to eight before SIU scored five-straight points to cut its deficit to three, 23-20. The Bulldogs sided out and then set Natalie Fry for the kill on set point to take the opening frame.
• The Salukis hit .367 in the second frame but the Bulldogs one-upped them by hitting at a .444 clip to take a 2-0 lead. SIU led early, 7-6 on a kill by Malvis Ortiz, but Drake scored five-straight points to take an 11-7 lead. Southern used a 3-0 spurt, highlighted by a double block by Rachel Maguire and Lindsey Paulsen to get to within two, 14-12 but that was as close as they would get.
• Southern got off to a fast start in the third set as one of Maguire's nine kills staked SIU to a 5-3 lead. Southern again built its lead to two, 11-9 on a kill by Patience Brown and again at 15-13 on an ace by Alison Thomas. The Bulldogs, however, scored 10 of the next 12 points to build a lead they never relinquished.Â
