ATHENS, Ohio – Kent State dropped a Mid-American Conference volleyball contest on the road to Ohio, 3-1 (22-25, 25-19, 24-26, 17-25) on Tuesday evening.
The Golden Flashes (10-12, 4-7 MAC) had three players reach double-digit kills, with juniors Avrey Rigney and Vanessa Imoh leading the way with 12 each. Junior Nadia Miller was right behind with 11 kills. Imoh and Miller both had efficient performances with hitting percentages above .300 on the night.
Kent State led by four points in the opening set before the host Bobcats went on a 16-8 run to take control. Rigney kept the Flashes alive with a kill and then teamed with Imoh for a block to get within 24-22. Ohio then recorded a kill to thwart the comeback effort.
The Flashes opened the second with an 8-3 lead and maintained an advantage of at least five points for the majority of the set. Senior Mercedez Brown, Imoh, Miller and Rigney each contributed at least three kills in the set.
Ohio was able to escape with a 26-24 victory in the third set, which featured 14 ties and five lead changes. The Bobcats carried that momentum into the fourth and posted a .414 team hitting percentage while closing out the match.
Senior Christina Vigil returned to the starting lineup and totaled a match-high 37 assists. Sophomore Catie Patterson led the Flashes' defense with 11 digs.
Kent State will be back in action on Saturday and hosts Western Michigan at 4 p.m. at the M.A.C. Center.
