Volleyball Displays Balanced Effort in Bellevue Classic

BELLEVUE, Neb. – The No. 2-ranked Northwestern volleyball team swept its way to a 7-0 record on Saturday, winning every set in its weekend at the GoSarpy.com Tournament, hosted by Bellevue University.

MATCH 1: NWC 3, OKWU 0 (25-20, 25-23, 25-22)
How It Happened
In its first top-15 matchup of the year, Northwestern faced No. 13 Oklahoma Wesleyan on Saturday afternoon.

The Raiders got out to a good start, moving ahead 5-1 to begin the first set. Later on, Zavyr Metzger and Savonne Sterk combined for back-to-back blocks, forcing an Oklahoma Wesleyan timeout at 14-7. After holding the lead for the majority of the set, Northwestern closed it out at 25-20 with a kill from Emma Westphal.

Despite the final numbers, it was a very competitive contest, showcased in the second set. Northwestern got out to a torrid start, taking a 10-2 lead on a 5-0 service run by Logan Miller. Through the midway point, the Eagles scorched back, coming within a point on multiple occasions. With the score at 23-22 late in the set, Northwestern capitalized on two Jazlin Douma kills for the 25-23 win.

The third and final set saw the Eagles take an early lead, but the Raiders regained a 9-6 advantage on Jazlin Douma's service, along with two kills from Maddy Sampson. Oklahoma Wesleyan led once more, taking an 18-17 lead before Northwestern rattled off four consecutive points to move ahead 21-18. Metzger helped the Raiders close out the match, getting a kill and a block in the final four Red Raider points.
