KENT, Ohio โ The Kent State volleyball team rarely played from behind during a 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-22) victory over Southern Indiana in Friday night's Kent State Invitational contest, marking the program's fourth straight successful home opener.
The Golden Flashes (3-1) received a complete team effort on the defensive side to hold the Screaming Eagles to a .030 hitting percentage. Senior Gracey Jarecke (18), graduate student Alex Haffner (11) and junior Bryn Roberts (10) tallied double-figure digs and six players contributed at least one block, led by four stuffs by graduate student Danie Tyson.
Freshman Mackenzie McGuire had a career-best 16 kills to lead the Kent State attack. Senior Taylor Heberle and Tyson added nine kills apiece. Haffner registered 31 assists.
