Broncos Fall in Four at UNLV
2/27/2021 9:52:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Lauren Ohlinger tallied a team-high 15 kills, but it was not enough to lead Boise State past UNLV as the Broncos fell 3-1 at Las Vegas Saturday night.Â
The Broncos opened slow and struggled to maintain any momentum against the Rebels. After dropping the first set 25-13 and falling behind 6-0 in the second, Boise State rallied to take the second set 25-23 to even the match at 1-1.Â
It looked like momentum had swung to the Broncos, but that loss was all the Rebels needed to regroup and take control of the final two sets to hand the Blue and Orange a 25-13, 23-25, 25-15, 25-16 defeat. The loss moves Boise State to 6-2 overall while UNLV remains undefeated at 6-0.Â
Keys to the match were hitting and serving as Boise State struggled in both. The Broncos were held to 19 percent hitting while UNLV finished at 31.3 percent. In addition, the Rebels' serving was big in the match as they recorded 17 service aces against the Broncos.Â
Offensively, Ohlinger's 15 kills led the team, she also had one block and five digs. Jessica Donahue was next with eight kills while hitting a team-best .467 percent, in addition to four blocks, one solo. Shae Duffy added five kills and a team-high five block assists.
Danielle Boss recorded a double-double from the setter position with 31 assists and 14 digs. Allison Casillas led defensively with a team- high 15 digs.Â
Boise State will be back in action next weekend when they host the New Mexico Lobos for a two-match series Friday and Saturday.Â
