Ranger Volleyball Falls Short at ECU

ADA, Okla. – The Northwestern Oklahoma State volleyball team came up short in three straight sets (12-25, 16-25, 19-25) against the Tigers of East Central in Ada. 
 
"As the coach I should've done better to prepare us for a road game, we were completely out of our element playing outside of Percefull Fieldhouse for the first time since November of 2019." Head Coach Fred Aubuchon explained. 
 
"As bad as things were tonight, I still have complete confidence in what we can do this season, most importantly none of us can give up on the process or each other." Aubuchon added. 
 
The Rangers (RV) moves to 4-3 overall and 2-3 in the Great American Conference.
 
Kaydee Honeycutt led the Rangers with six kills, one block and seven digs. Honeycutt finished the contest with a .130 attack percentage off of a 6-3-23 hitting clip. 
 
Kate Deterding posted a 5-5-27 hitting clip. She tallied five digs, one service ace and five kills. 
 
Courtney Russell finished with three kills, one assist and one dig. 
 
Avery Osburg chipped in nine digs and 12 assists.
 
Sydnee Miller recorded six digs and one assist. 
 
Jessica Thompson added two kills, one block and one dig.
