Dragons Bite Cardinals, End Home Run


WHEELING, W.Va. – For the first time in over five years, the Cardinals did not come out on the winning side on the McDonough Center volleyball court. After a tied match, Tiffin outlasted Wheeling Jesuit in the third set, 32-30, and rode the momentum into the fourth set for the 3-1 upset.
 
The Dragons (19-12) started strong and opened a six-point lead, 16-10, and then polished off the first set with the final six points for a 25-14 win. The Cardinals (26-5) turned a 13-13 into an advantage with five points in a row, before Maddy Smyth pounded the game-winner for the 25-19 final.
 
WJU went out to an eight-point advantage three times in the third set with the last at 18-10. Tiffin responded with a 10-2 run to tie it, 20-20. It was the first of 10 ties in an intense set, which the Dragons proved to be the team with two-straight points in them at 32-30. The visitors trailed only twice early in the fourth set by a single points and maintained the advantage the rest of the set after going ahead 11-8 of the eventual 25-16 final.
 
The WJU loss was its first home loss in 108 matches dating back to Oct. 2, 2012 against California (Pa.). The defeat also ended the Cardinals current 23-match win streak since their first match on Sept. 9 against nationally-ranked Winona State.
 
Haley Kramer paced the WJU effort with 15 kills and six blocks. Cassie Meyer and Smyth added 12 apiece. Meyer also had 13 digs and two blocks and Smyth two blocks. Kenzie Schroer downed 11 kills and had the team's highest hitting percentage of .375.
 
Stephanie Sylvester set up 49 kills and dug 14 attacks. Audrey Francis finished with 18 digs, while Makenna Babb registered 11 digs, four kills, two assists and three blocks. Abby Moffit chipped in eight digs.
 
Tiffin outhit WJU, .283 to .175, in the match.
