TIFFIN, Ohio – The UIndy volleyball team (8-2) wrapped up its weekend in Ohio on Sunday afternoon, falling to No. 14 Hillsdale in straight sets on the campus of Tiffin University.
 
Katie Furlong (12) and Elizabeth Eads (10) both recorded double-figure kills, while MaKenna Barnhart paced the team with 13 digs.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Hillsdale charged out to a 10-4 lead in the opening frame before finding itself with a set advantage after hitting .300 as an offensive unit. The Greyhounds showed some more fight in the second set, with Furlong totaling five kills. Hillsdale pulled away late, however, fending off a UIndy rally that saw a pair of kills from Emma Jones.
 
The Greyhounds appeared to force a fourth set, leading as late as 21-18 in the third. After calling timeout, the Chargers rattled off seven of the next nine points to finish off the sweep of the Greyhounds.
 
Hillsdale middle Allyssa Van Wienen dictated the Charger attack all day, as she tallied 19 kills on .731 hitting.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Eads' 10 kills against the Chargers is the most by the freshman in a match this season. The Roncalli product has now attacked at a .300 clip in each of the last three contests.
 
The Greyhounds have now recorded more service aces than service errors in each of the last three matches, with Alyssa Spears recording one on Sunday.
 
Hannah Huppenbauer came off the bench to record three kills and four blocks against Hillsdale.
