ATHENS, Ohio – After a month on the road, the Ohio Volleyball team returned to Athens to open Mid-American Conference play, completing the three-set sweep of Toledo (25-14, 26-24, 25-19) Friday evening at the Convocation Center.

To be here, in front of our own fans and to play like we played, especially in the second set. We had a pretty good lead and to be able to grind through that was cool. It was an emotional win. It's been a heck of a month and I'm excited and proud of them." 

The Bobcats attacked at .200 pace to sweep all three sets against the Rockets. Ohio cruised to a 25-14 first set victory, closing out the set on a 7-0 run. The Bobcats and Rockets went wire-to-wire during the second set, prevailing 26-24. Ohio went on to dominat the third set, 25-19 to seal the win. 

Junior outside hitter Olivia Margolies (Galena, Ohio) led the Bobcats with 13 kills, a block and hit of .205 in the three-set sweep. Freshman outside hitter Caroline Clippard (Cincinnati, Ohio) followed with 12 kills of her own, ending the match with a match high attack percentage of .375. Sophomore setter Tria McLean (Battle Creek, Neb.) led the team with 19 assists while sophomore Sam Steele (Omaha, Neb.) made 24 digs.
