Youngstown -- Tasha Reid's
career-high 13 kills were offset by four UIC players posting

four sets in the Horizon League opener for both teams.

hitter, had 13 kills against four errors in 30 attempts. Ebony
Barbosa added a double-double with 11 kills and 13 digs. Barbosa
connected on 11 of 25 targets and did not have an error.
UIC hit .293 for the match while YSU was
held to a .212 total. The Flames avoided the YSU' block all match
as the Penguins registered a season-low three.

kills for the Flames while Katarina Nedeljkovic had 14 kills and 14
digs.
Senior Karla Everhart had 19 kills for
the Penguins, and freshman libero Amanda Gray had 11.
YSU led just twice early in the first set
before UIC went on a 12-1 run that gave it a 15-4 lead. The Flames
hit .500 in the set en route to a 25-15 victory.
The Penguins trailed by as many as five
in the second set and were trailing 14-10 before rallying to tie it
14-14 on Barbosa's serve. The Penguins took their first lead at
23-22 as part of a 4-0 run that gave them a 4-0 win. Reid and Ruth
Boscaljon had back-to-back kills, and Barbosa came up with a solo
block to set up Reid's kill on set point.
YSU carried the momentum to take a 8-5
lead in the third set before scored four straight and never trailed
again. YSU got within one several times, including 24-23 on Haley
Kapferer's kill. Nedeljkovic answered with her second kill of the
