AKRON, Ohio – The University at Buffalo women's volleyball team (11-7, 3-4 MAC) fell on the road to the Akron Zips (8-11, 3-4 MAC) on Tuesday evening in four sets, 22-25, 29-27, 14-25, 22-25.
The Bulls couldn't match Akron's production on offense or defense at Jams A. Rhodes Arena. The Zips hit .271 as the Bulls hit .194. Akron held the edge in kills (57-49), aces (10-6), assists (50-41), digs (51-46) and total blocks (13-8).
Manoela Forlin led the Bulls with 15 kills as Abbie Willis added 11. Hailey Campagna returned to action where she added 11 kills of her own. Sadie Gladhill recorded a pair of aces with 10 digs. Maddie Mitchell also had 10 digs to go with her 35 assists. Abisola Adebayo had five total blocks, three of which going down as solo blocks.
SET 1 | Buffalo trailed 18-9, but made a courageous comeback. Their effort fell just short as the Zips won the set, 25-22. Akron had four blocks as they shutout the Bulls in the category.
SET 2 | The Bulls rebounded as they won the second set, 29-27. Buffalo hit .364 with 17 kills as Forlin, Willis and Campagna led the charge with four kills each. Akron led 24-23 with set point within reach, but the Bulls ended up taking a 25-24 lead. Back and forth, it went until the Bulls eventually won the final two points with kills from Mitchell and Ava Kanj.
SET 3 | Buffalo's offensive struggles were on display as they hit .000 in the third as they only had seven kills. Akron's defense tallied five blocks in their 25-14 win.
SET 4 | The visitors gave it their all to force a fifth set. The Bulls led 15-14 at the media timeout. Momentum went into Akron's favor as they went up 23-20. Trailing 24-21, Buffalo called their final timeout. Campagna cut the deficit to two, but Akron clinched match point on the ensuing point.
