Columbus, Ohio -- Youngstown
State kept up with a hot-hitting Ohio State team but fell in
straight sets in the final match for both teams at the Ohio State
Sports Imports Classic on Saturday.
Ohio State hit .429 as a team in the
match, including .438 in the second set when YSU fell short,
25-21.
Ruth Boscaljon had five kills on 15
attempts after posting 22 kills against Toledo yesterday. Boscaljon
finished the three-match weekend with 34 kills and a .492
percentage to earn all-tournament team honors.
Ebony Barbosa had eight kills to lead YSU
while Haley Kapferer had six and four blocks.
Kaila Calhoun had 15 kills on a .591
percentage to lead the Buckeyes.
Ohio State scored seven straight points
to turn a narrow 13-10 lead in the first set into a 25-17
victory, and it led by the same margin in set two. The Penguins
kept the difference within five, and Barbosa's ace that made the
score 22-21 capped a 6-2 run. A Penguins' attack error gave the
Buckeyes a point and the serve, and Calhoun recorded two straight
kills to preserve the win.
The Buckeyes opened up a 10-3 lead in the
final set and kept at a least a five point lead the rest of the way
in a 25-15 victory.
The Penguins finished the tournament with
the third-best record, picking up a win against Toledo and dropping
competitive matches to Xavier and Ohio State. The Musketeers went
3-0 over the weekend, winning each of their matches in four
sets.
YSU will travel south next weekend for
the Comfort Suites 49er Tournament hosted by Charlotte.
