War On I-4
ORLANDO, Nov. 22, 2017 – The University of South Florida volleyball team battled in the first of this week's War On I-4 series, falling in a closely contested three sets Wednesday night in Orlando (25-27, 20-25, 23-25).
The Bulls (12-17, 7-12 The American) used a 9-0 run in the opening set to take a 10-5 lead. The margin extended to as much as seven, 17-10, before the Knights (18-13, 11-8 The American) began to cut into the deficit. The score would be knotted up five times, but UCF was able to win the set, 27-25.
After the Knights went up 2-0, the Bulls came back from a 9-4 deficit to tie the third set 12-12. A 4-0 USF run turned the lead into its favor, 16-13. UCF then retook the advantage, 23-19, before three-straight points from the Bulls cut the margin to one. After a Reagan Davey (Ocala, Fla.) kill made it 24-23, the Knights were able to clinch the match on the next volley.
KEY NUMBERS
13: Freshman outside hitter Doris Carter (Lexington, Ky.) tallied 12 kills, the 13th time she has reached double-digit kills this year.
10: Senior setter Alex Mendoza (Minneola, Fla.) statted a match-high 26 assists to go along with 10 digs for her 10th double-double of the year.
NOTABLES
USF finishes the season Saturday night against the Knights with three points in the War On I-4 series on the line. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m.
