Chippewas post second-straight sweep of Miami for 2-0 start in conference play
OXFORD, Ohio -- Central Michigan volleyball took big win over Miami (Ohio) RedHawks on Friday night.
Â
Krystina Kasson led the Chippewas with 16 kills, while Abby Olin had nine, and Natalie Rejment added eight.
Â
CMU finished with a .231 attack percentage to Miami's .095. CMU improved to 11-3 and is 2-0 after the opening weekend of Mid-American Conference play. The Chippewas defeated the RedHawks in straight sets on Thursday.
Â
The Chippewas entertain Eastern Michigan on Tuesday, Oct. 1, in a MAC game.
Â
"What we look upon is how do we get better and what did we do well (this weekend) and how can we be a better team for next week," CMU coach Mike Gawlik said.
Â
The Chippewas trailed very early in the first two sets and then took control in both with early runs. In the third, they rallied from an 11-7 hole by reeling off six straight points for a 13-11 lead. They then broke a 13-13 tie with a 6-0 spurt to take command.
Â
Also for the Chippewas on Friday, setter Allie Korba finished with 33 assists and Rejment and Hannah Langton had 10 digs apiece.
