Bisons sweep Sugar Bears in first ASUN meeting

NASHVILLE – Lipscomb volleyball extended its win streak Friday night, defeating ASUN Conference newcomer Central Arkansas in straight sets at Allen Arena on LUV Alumni Weekend.
 
The 3-0 (25-20, 26-24, 25-10) decision marked the second sweep of the season for the Bisons and their third win in a row.
 
Logan Gish led the way for the Bisons (6-8, 3-1 ASUN) with her second consecutive double-double behind a team high 11 kills and 10 digs. She hit .286 with just three errors on 28 attacks.
 
Kamryn Bacus also finished in double figures with 10 kills, while hitting .227 on 22 swings.
 
Sophomore middle Meg Mersman paced the squad with a .500 hitting clip, behind nine kills and one error on 16 attacks. She led the Bisons with two blocks.
 
Delaney Dilfer recorded 40 of the team's 45 assists, to go along with three kills and three digs.
 

SET 1
The Bisons led from start to finish after winning the first six points of the set. The lead grew to seven points on three occasions, including 18-11 after back-to-back kills from Bacus. The Sugar Bears (3-10, 1-3) tried to make a late run, but a kill from Gish spared a 3-0 run to end the set in Lipscomb's favor, 25-20.
 
Addi Pelham and Kathleen Lowry led the way in the frame with four kills each, while Gish and Bacus each added three. Dilfer was credited with 15 assists on 17 kills and the team was able to dig out 17 balls.
   
 
SET 2
The second frame saw UCA control a majority of the way, leading 18-13 after a kill from Amari Mitchell. Gish and Aubele recorded back-to-back kills before Bacus and Mersman put together a little run to get Lipscomb to within two at 20-18. Out of subs, the Bisons were able to work some magic and closed the set on an 8-4 run. Having not led a single time in the set, consecutive kills from Aubele and Gish put the Bisons in front 24-23 and then eventually earned the win at 26-24.
 
Gish was flat dominant in the set with seven kills (.600), while Aubele (.800) and Mersman (.500) each collected four. The offense was nearly unstoppable for both sides as 20 of the final 21 total points came by way of kills, including 18 straight at one point. Lipscomb hit .368 and UCA swung .355.
   
 
SET 3
Lipscomb won the first four points and led 10-2, forcing UCA to call both of its timeouts. The Bisons never let up and outscored the Sugar Bears 12-1 to end the set and get the win, 25-10.
 
Bacus hit .556 with five kills in the set, while the Bisons outhit UCA .226 to -.088.
