SIU Defeats Drake Volleyball In Four Sets

Bulldogs rally to take the third set to extend the match.

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Drake's Emily Plock racked up 15 kills Friday night, but it wasn't enough to slow down Southern Illinois University as SIU defeated the Drake University volleyball team, 3-1.

Plock's 15 kills came on 43 attempts while Michele Rabbitt added 12 kills on 45 attempts in her return to the lineup.

Drake (7-10, 1-3 MVC) fell in the Missouri Valley Conference match by set scores of 25-19, 25-20, 22-25, 25-18.

SIU was paced by 19 kills from Hannah Becker.

Facing a 2-0 deficit in the match, the Bulldogs responded in the third set by jumping out to a 19-11 lead. However, the Salukis rallied back to pull within a point at 23-22 as a result of an 11-4 run. Fortunately for the visitors, back-to-back kills from Rabbitt and Plock propelled the Bulldogs to the set win to extend the match.

Drake played even with SIU in the fourth set until a 5-0 Saluki run gave them enough cushion to take the set, 25-18, and dispatch the Bulldogs with the 3-1 victory.

Paige Aspinwall again paced the offense and defense with 35 assists and 14 digs in the loss. Kylee Macke also added 26 digs.

The Bulldogs remain on the road next to face Missouri State Saturday evening at 6 p.m. in Springfield, Mo.
