The final three sets were equally close, but each time the Lady Buffs managed to score the timely points and capitalize on and UIndy mistakes. All told, the back-and-forth battle featured 21 ties and seven lead changes.

Voelz finished with a career-high 17 kills, hitting .677 (17-1-24) to continue her remarkable sophomore season. She added seven blocks, six digs and an ace, as well, and leads the Hounds with a .308 attack percentage thus far in 2016.
