YPSILANTI (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University volleyball team could not overcome its offensive struggles, falling 3-1 (25-27, 25-21, 19-25, 24-26) to IPFW Tuesday, Oct. 5, in a non-conference contest here at the Convocation Center. The Eagles hit just .037 (48-41-188) while the Mastodons managed a .097 (48-31-176) clip.
EMU drops to 16-5 overall with the loss, while IPFW moves to 10-8 and has won five consecutive against the Eagles.
Freshman Erin Short (Orrville, Ohio-Orrville) had a match-high 13 kills for the Eagles, with sophomore Rachel Iaquaniello (Plymouth, Mich.-Dearborn Divine Child) adding 10. Junior libero Haley Stein (Carleton, Mich.-Monroe St. Mary's Catholic Central) had a team-best 27 digs, with sophomore Kristen Baker (Mentor, Ohio-Mentor) adding seven blocks . Junior setter Ashley Mason (Eastlake, Ohio-Lake Catholic) dished out a match-high 44 assists while adding 13 digs and five blocks in the losing effort.
IPFW's Tessa McGill picked up her third match of the season with at least 30 digs, with a match-high 35, tied for the sixth most in a match in IPFW volleyball history. Stephanie Lamberti added 16 digs, with Megan Steenhuysen and Jen Milligan chipping in 13 and 12, each. Alli Hook picked up a match-high eight blocks to go along with her eight kills. Lamberti had a dozen kills for most on the team, followed closely by Maya Schlindwein, who had 11. Steenhuysen picked up her 10th double-double of the year by adding 41 assists, as Lamberti had both of the team's service aces in the match.
The beginning to end of the first set was aback-and-forth battle, the largest lead by either team was four, 18-14, when the Mastodons took advantage of a bad set by Eagles. However, EMU promptly answered with with four consecutive points to knot the score at 18. Eastern Michigan eventually took a late 25-24 advantage, but three straight Eagle attack errors, gave the visitors a 27-25 opening-set win.
The Eagles found themselves up 3-0 to start the second set, but quickly saw the Mastodons charge ahead to take a 15-14 edge. EMU would regroup to score five of the next six points to push ahead by three at 19-16. The Green and White would remain in control, evening the match a 1-1 with the 25-21 decision.
The third set was one of runs for both teams. After the teams each traded a pair of 3-0 runs, Eastern Michigan led 13-10, forcing IPFW into a timeout. The Eagles would hold a 15-13, before the Mastodons rattled off seven consecutive points to pull in front, 20-15. EMU would only be able to climb to within three points the rest of the way, as IPFW cruised to the 25-19 win.
In the finale, IPFW never trailed in the fourth and deciding set, scoring six of the first eight points of the frame. The Eagles would claw their way back to tie the set at 14 apiece, before a 4-0 IPFW run put more room into the margin. Eastern Michigan would not be done with their comebacks, however, as a late 3-0 run turned a 24-21 IPFW lead into a 24-24 tie score, but a Schlindwein kill and an Eagle attack error gave the Mastodons their 26th point of the set, and the 26-24 final-set win.
EMU returns to Mid-American Conference play Friday, Oct. 8, versus instate rival Western Michigan University before closing out the week Saturday, Oct. 9, against Northern Illinois University. First serve for all three matches is scheduled for 7 p.m.
