Tech’s offense was impressive, hitting .423 as a team and tallying 55 kills in the match. Lauren Sauer recorded 10 kills in the match, hitting .467, while Alexandra Preiss notched nine kills and hit .667. Defensively, the Jackets were just as impressive, holding the Owls to a .094 percentage out outdigging Rice 43 to 26. Keight Vincent had eight digs, followed by Kele Eveland who had 41 assists and six digs.
“I thought tonight we played dominant, which was great to see,” said head coach Bond Shymansky. “Our offense fired on all cylinders, our defense was inspiring, and our ball control was definitely the anchor to our success.”
