ALVA, Okla. – The Northwestern Oklahoma State volleyball team earned their seventh straight victory of the season over Southeastern Oklahoma State, 3-0.
The Rangers (12-5, 3-1 GAC) opened up homecoming weekend in dominating fashion, posting their second best team hitting percentage (.388) in a match this season. Northwestern used their high-octane offense to keep the Savage Storm (5-11, 1-3 GAC) on their heels the entire contest and never trailed at any point of the match.
That offense was led by sophomore
Jennifer Eubanks and junior
Hannah Williams, who recorded 16.5 points apiece. Eubanks recorded a hitting percentage of .682 for the match, which now stands as the highest hitting percentage ever posted by a Ranger in a single match.
The Copperas Cove, Texas native knocked down 16 kills in 22 total attacks while committing just a single attack error. Her comrade Williams chipped in on the record-setting night with 14 kills of her own. Freshman
Kaitlyn Robinson rose to the occasion following the injury suffered by standout
Kiauna Clark in practice, which will keep her out indefinitely, and recorded 46 assists and three aces.
Transfer
Brooklynn Hesson and freshman
Lauren Symington also joined in often with the fun on offense, recording nine and five kills respectively. Senior
Carley Geer led the unit with 10 digs while fellow senior
LaMonica Peacock provided a presence at the net with four block assist for the evening.
As mentioned earlier, the Rangers established early leads in each set and kept Southeastern from ever taking the advantage during any point of the match. Head coach
Jeremy White and his squad will look to continue to roll moving into the heart of their conference season.
Up Next
The Rangers will take on Oklahoma Panhandle State in their next match on Oct. 3 inside Percefull Fieldhouse before returning to conference play on Oct. 6 against Arkansas Monticello for their third straight home contest.
