RedHawk Volleyball Edged by Austin Peay in Five Sets

HUNTINGTON, W. Va.—A hard-fought effort came up just short as the Miami University volleyball team (0-1) was edged in its season opener in five sets by Austin Peay State University (1-1) on Friday afternoon at the Marshall Invitational (25-19, 25-27, 25-18, 21-25, 10-15).
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Junior Lindsay Taylor tallied three kills and Miami amassed four blocks with two coming from freshman Brooke Cirigliano as the RedHawks notched a 25-19 win in the opening set.
  • The RedHawks used a balanced attack in the second set, led by senior Sophie Riemersma's four kills, while junior Jacquelyn Krumnauer served up two of her three aces for the match, but the RedHawks came up short in a 25-27 decision.
  • After trailing early in the third set, Miami took a 6-5 lead off a Riemersma kill and never looked back. Miami hit a strong .421 in the set as the RedHawks hammered out a 25-18 win in the third stanza. Senior Gaby Harper tallied six kills, while hitting .545, and added a solo block for the RedHawks. Junior Allyson Severance notched five kills.
  • The RedHawks held a 17-16 lead in the fourth set, but the Governors went on a 9-4 surge to close out the fourth set to collect a 25-21 win.
  • Miami held an early 3-2 lead in the fifth set, but Austin Peay rattled off four unanswered points to push ahead and did not look back, taking the match with a 15-10 set five win.
 
THOUGHTS FROM HEAD COACH CAROLYN CONDIT:
"It was a hard-fought first match with many bright spots. Our juniors and seniors stabilized the pins, and our younger players provided decent consistency."

NOTES:
  • Severance paced Miami with 14 kills and was followed by Harper (13) and Riemersma (12).
  • Senior Jennifer Schulze posted career highs of 25 assists and 18 digs. Her 18 digs led the RedHawks. She was one of five in double figures for digs.
  • Krumnauer tallied a career-best three service aces and tied a career-high with 16 digs.
  • Cirigliano led Miami with five blocks.
  • Cirigliano and freshman Gracie Norris played in their first matches as RedHawks.
 
UP NEXT:
Miami returns to the court at the Marshall Invitational for a pair of matches on Saturday, Aug. 28. The RedHawks face Alabama at 10 a.m. and host Marshall at 6 p.m. Miami's match against Marshall will be aired on ESPN+.
