INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy volleyball team played for a cause bigger than the game on Wednesday evening, raising money for breast cancer awareness in its Dig Pink match against Kentucky State at the Ruth Lilly Fitness Center. The Greyhounds swept the visiting Thorobreds on the court with total game play just reaching the 70-minute mark.
 
All ticket proceeds, as well as items won from the silent auction, count toward the program's overall goal of fundraising $1,000 for the Side-Out Foundation. To help UIndy Volleyball surpass its goal, please click here to donate.
 
The Greyhounds dominated from start to finish on Wednesday, attacking at .515 clip against the Kentucky State defense. Cailtin Blomberg totaled a match-high 13 kills on 16 attempts, while rookie Paige Boettcher chipped in eight in the win.
 
UIndy committed just six attacking errors, with The Maddies™ – Maddie Berger and Maddie Lynch – combining for 13 kills without a mistake. Carly Fonda accounted for just over half of the team's 51 assists with 26 helpers, with Lucia Brown and Macy Bruton also reaching double digits.
 
The Greyhound defense scooped up exactly 50 percent of the Thorobreds' attacks, as Bruton led the way in the pink libero jersey with 12 digs. Fonda, who also recorded all three of the team's service aces, finished with six digs, the most by a player not named Bruton.
 
Taylor Welch saw her first collegiate action in the win, tallying four kills and a block.
