MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The University at Buffalo women's volleyball team (13-9, 5-6 MAC) defeated the Central Michigan Chippewas (0-24, 0-11 MAC) on Friday evening in four sets, 25-18, 25-22, 21-25, 25-21.
Hailey Campagna had a career night with 20 kills with nine digs and a .395 hitting percentage. Sydney Bell added 13 kills with Manoela Forlin tallying 12. Forlin is now fifth on the all-time kills list with 1,122 kills as she passed Paula Collins (1987-90; 1,111) and Katrin Trebichavska (2022-24; 1,120).
Maddie Mitchell recorded her 24th career double-double with 36 assists and 16 digs. Sadie Gladhill was second on the team with 15 digs. Abisola Adebayo and Abbie Willis each had four total blocks.
As a team the Bulls hit .266 to Central Michigan's .117. Buffalo was a major edge in the kills column, 61-42.
SET 1 | Buffalo controlled the opening set with an efficient attack as they hit .303 with just two errors. They were also strong off the reception as they were 13-of-18 (72%) on the sideout. Campagna had five kills as the Bulls cruised to a 25-18 set win.
SET 2 | The second set was tighter as the Chippewas stayed within a few points most of the match. Buffalo's offense continued to click as they hit .325 to put the Chippewas away, 25-22.
SET 3 | Central Michigan took one from the Bulls as they outhit them .265-.171. The Chippewas had their largest lead of the night at 18-12, but Buffalo chipped away to make it 18-16. Central Michigan held off Buffalo to win 25-21.
SET 4 | Buffalo responded in the fourth to win the match. Buffalo's offense was led by Campagna's six kills as the defense held Central Michigan to a.083 hitting percentage and seven kills. Buffalo led 11-5, but by the media timeout it was a three-point game, 15-12. Central Michigan hung around, but Bell finished the match off with a kill at 25-21.
"Great to get a first night win after a long road trip," said Head Coach Scott Smith. "We need to do a better job from the service line and work through our serve-receive communication. We struggled to maintain the rhythm we wanted throughout the match and got caught on our heels a few times. I did like how we finished with a little more aggressive offense and will need to bring that same intensity tomorrow."
The Bulls are back in action tomorrow at 4 p.m. against the Chippewas. Match coverage will be on ESPN+.
