The day trip to Ypsilanti ends in a three-set loss for CMU Volleyball on Tuesday night.
YPSILANTI, Mich. – Central Michigan Volleyball dropped a three-set match at Eastern Michigan on Tuesday evening, 13-25, 14-25 and 21-25. CMU shifts to 9-15 and 6-6 in the MAC, while EMU advances to 11-13 and 3-8 in the conference.
Grace Thomas hit .267 for Central Michigan with six kills, Taylor Cripe killed nine and Natalia Rejment tallied seven. Keelyn Muell recorded 22 assists. The Chippewas aced the Eagles four times with Hannah Langton charting three. Abby Olin recorded her second-straight game with 10 digs, and Rejment matched that total.
Central Michigan Head Coach Arielle Wilson called a timeout early in the first set as the Chippewas trailed 3-7 to the Eagles. Eastern Michigan started the game with a service error from CMU and the back-to-back aces by one of their middle blockers from the service line. In set one, two different calls were challenged and called back in favor of EMU. Coming out of one of those challenge timeouts, the Chippewas were aced for the third time in the set and Coach Wilson called another timeout with CMU trailing 9-17.
The second set started with a long run for the Eagles, but CMU clawed their way back to trail by just three at the media timeout, 12-15. The Chippewas would score just two more as the final 14-25 approached quickly putting CMU down 0-2 in the set.
The third set became tied at nine and the Chippewas led in a set for the first time all night, 11-10 over the Eagles and CMU held the lead at the media timeout, 15-12. At 16 the set was tied, and the Chippewas were then trailing 16-18.
The Eagles went on to grab the victory and defeat the Chippewas for the first time in 11 meetings.
Next, CMU will be in McGuirk Arena for a four-match stretch starting on Friday, October 31st as Ohio is welcomed to town. First serve is slated for 6 p.m. on Friday and 4 p.m. on Saturday.
