ATHENS, Ohio – The Ohio volleyball team (11-17, 11-6 MAC) takes down Bowling Green (19-8, 15-2 MAC), 3-2 (25-23, 22-25, 25-22, 19-25, 15-11) on Senor Day in the Convocation Center.
The Bobcats defeated the Falcons in a grueling five-set battle on Saturday (Nov.13). In the first set, Ohio jumped out to an early lead, but a six-point run by Bowling Green put them up 11-10. After trading a few points, the Bobcats got back to work and went on a run of their own to extend their lead. The Falcons fought hard to tie the set up at 23-23 but Ohio refused to settle and took the first, 25-23.
In set two, a resilient Bowling Green achieved a 9-1 lead over the Bobcats, but Ohio never gave up and slowly started to close the gap. Ohio was able to take the lead late in the set, but a three-point run by the Falcons put Bowling Green just out of reach and the Bobcats dropped the set 22-25.
The third set was a back-and-forth battle that brought 12 ties and four lead changes. After Ohio tied the set at 22-22, the Bobcats scored two more to give them the set-point. AÂ successful challenge from the Ohio bench on the following point allowed the Bobcats to head into the fourth with a 2-1 lead over the Falcons.
Meanwhile, set four was another tight match-up between Ohio and Bowling Green. However, the Falcons created some separation late in the set to tie the match.
The Bobcats dominated in the fifth and final set, creating as large as a six-point lead over the Falcons. The final kill of the match came from no other than fifth year opposite hitter Maggie Nedoma (Brook Park, Ohio). This marks Nedoma's 1313 career kill and her final kill in the Convocation Center. In addition to Nedoma, Ohio volleyball would like to thank seniors Ila Angermeier, Emily Walsh, Ashton Webb, Virginia Natale, and Dahlias Bouyer for their leadership and dedication both on and off the court.
Additionally, five Bobcats saw double-digit kills and three achieved double-doubles. Nedoma led the pack with 18, while junior middle blocker Caitlin O'Farrell (Suwanee, Ga.) hit a stellar .448, collecting 15 kills. Junior outside hitter Olivia Margolies (Galena, Ohio) followed with 14 kills and pocketed 20 digs to secure her sixth double-double of the season. Freshman outside hitter Caroline Clippard (Cincinnati, Ohio) registered 13 kills of her own and sophomore middle blocker Elizabeth Hoerlein (Mason, Ohio) recorded a career-high 12 kills while hitting .476. Other double-doubles came from sophomores Tria McLean (Battle Creek, Neb.) and Sam Steele (Omaha, Neb.). Setter McLean tallied 56 assists and 17 digs, while libero Steele added 30 digs and 10 assists.
Up next, Ohio will head to Kent, Ohio where they will take on the Golden Flashes at 6 P.M. EST on Nov. 17.
