Volleyball winless in Big 12 road games

Monday, October 5, 2009

The Kansas volleyball team is still without a Big 12 road victory after it was swept by Texas A&M on Saturday (17-25, 22-25, 23-25). Kansas fell to 9-5 (2-3 Big 12) on the season while Texas A&M improved to 10-3 (3-2 Big 12).

Injured junior outside hitter Karina Garlington posted a season-low five kills and had five errors, but sophomore outside hitter Allison Mayfield continued her good season. Mayfield racked up 18 kills, just one short of her career high. Junior defensive specialist Melissa Manda had a match-high 18 digs and recorded her 11th straight game with double-digit kills.

Kansas committed nine errors in the first set and a strong Texas A&M offense won 25-17. Texas A&M recorded an impressive 21 kills in the second set on its way to winning 25-22.

Kansas did not give up despite being down 0-2 and stayed close during the third set. But after the score was tied 23-23, Texas A&M finished Kansas off, 25-23.

This Wednesday Kansas will attempt to earn its first Big 12 road victory at No. 10 Nebraska. Coach Ray Bechard will attempt to pick up his 900th collegiate victory.
