NC State rallies to down Kats in 5 sets
8/27/2022 1:01:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Sam Houston Bearkats held a lead over NC State after three sets, but the Wolfpack rallied back to take the final two sets and take down the Kats, 3-2, on the final day of the K-State Invitational at Bramlage Coliseum.
The match was a grind for both teams with four of the five sets being decided by just two points, including each of the Kats' (1-2) wins coming in extra points.
Three Bearkats turned in double-digit kill efforts, including freshmen Madison Dyer and Haley Heider. Dyer finished out a big weekend in her Bearkat debut, landing 18 kills with a .359 attack percentage and four blocks, while Heider scored 16 kills and had a dozen digs for her first career double-double.
Catherine Krieger joined them with 15 kills and Hannah Baker had 28 digs. Avery Fowler and Analise Lucio each turned in double-doubles as well, while Madeline McKinney's 10 digs gave the Kats five players in double digits in that category.
Sam Houston will return home and play at Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum for the first time this season on Tuesday when it hosts Prairie View at 6:30 p.m. With one more victory, head coach Brenda Gray would reach 750 wins for her career.
