#6 Lopers Bounce Back with 4-Set Win in Wichita

The sixth-ranked Nebraska Kearney volleyball team got a big effort from redshirt junior middle Sydney Davis and had 14 blocks to get past Newman in four sets (-16, 23-25, -9, -13) Friday night in Wichita.
The Lopers move to 22-2 (9-0) with the Jets falling to 7-17 (2-17). This was the only meeting between the two this fall.

Davis (Dannebrog) had 14 kills in only 16 swings to hit a sparkling .816. That ranks seventh highest in school history (minimum 10 kills). She also had two block solos and two block assists; the Lopers were credited with nine solo stuffs and 10 block assists.

UNK rebounded from the second set lost to allow just 22 points over the third and fourth. They also hit .545 (12-0-22) in the third and .379 (13-2-29) in the final set. Next, graduate outside Carly Purdy (North Platte) had 12 kills, Imperial right side Bryn McNair had six kills in 12 swings with no errors and Kansas redshirt freshman Sophia Thompson provided six blocks and eight kills. Finally, Sumner freshman DS Taryn Arbuthnot served up two of UNK’s six aces.

Newman was paced by Sky Miller who had 18 kills and two aces.
The Lopers face Central Oklahoma Saturday afternoon in Edmond.
