Youngstown -- Freshman Marissa Hundelt posted a career-best 17 kills, and head coach Krista Burrows earned her first Division I victory as the Youngstown State volleyball team defeated Howard 3-1 (25-19, 25-15, 13-25, 28-26) on Friday at the YSU Invitational.
Hundlet added 14 digs to collect her first career double-double. Tasha Reid added a season-best 12 kills as Youngstown State posted a season-high .218 attack percentage. Hundelt's 17 kills came on a .483 hitting clip.

Tosin Elebute had a match-high 20 kills and 10 digs to lead Howard. The Bison had two more kills than the Penguins, but they had five more errors and six fewer aces.
Hundelt and the Penguins got off to a strong start in the first set in their 25-19 victory. Hundelt had seven of YSU's 15 kills, and YSU hit .440 as a team. There were eight ties and four lead changes, but YSU took the lead for good at 16-15.

Neither team led by more than one until Howard went ahead 23-21. The Bison had two set points, but Kapferer's block and Soubliere's kill tied the score at 24-24. Hundelt had kills on three of the final four points to close out the match at 28-26.
