KANSAS CITY, Mo.- After dropping the opening set, the 24th-ranked University of Indianapolis volleyball team rebounded to defeat Rockhurst in four at Mason-Halpin Field House Saturday, 22-25, 25-14, 25-21, 25-17.  Sophomore Cheneta Morrison (pictured, center) led the offense in its 20th win of the year with a .458 hitting percentage and a career-best 25 kills.

 

The Greyhounds (20-4, 9-2 GLVC) earned a quick 4-0 lead in the first set, but eventually fell 25-22.  The UIndy attack connected on just 14% of its attempts while the Hawks hit .345 as a team.

 

UIndy turned the tables in set two and hit at a .410 clip in a dominating 25-14 win.  The Greyhound defense also stiffened by holding the Hawks (13-9, 7-5) to a minuscule .089 percentage. 

 

The Hounds dished out more of the same in the final two sets as a 1-0 deficit in the fourth marked to only time they trailed in the latter half on the match. 

 

Sixteen kills of Morrison’s career-high total came in the final two sets, with eight coming in both the third and fourth frames.

 

Sophomore Lyndsay Callahan notched her tenth double-double of the season with 13 kills and 19 digs.  Senior Beth Robbins had a season-high 63 assists and seven digs, junior Kyleigh Turner also marked a season best with 32 digs, and senior Ashley Fallos chipped-in 16 digs.

 

UIndy returns to the Ruth Lilly Center for a mid-week clash against 18th-ranked Lewis Tuesday.  The two intra-division rivals met up four times last season, with the Flyers picking up three wins.  Start time is scheduled for 7 pm.
