Dayton, Ohio — Wright State used long scoring runs in the first two sets and hit .303 as a team to sweep Youngstown State's volleyball team on Friday evening at C.J. McLin Gymnasium. The set scores were 25-11, 25-13, 25-18.
Abbie Householder paced the Penguins with 10 kills and 11 digs, while Layne Graffice was efficient with seven kills in 17 attempts over the final two sets. That duo combined for 17 of YSU's 28 kills in the match.
Reilly Zegunis led Wright State with 11 kills in 21 attempts, and Mya Ayro and Katie Sowko added 10 kills apiece. The Raiders improved to 11-6 overall and 5-1 in Horizon League play, while the Penguins dropped to 7-10 overall and 2-4 against conference opponents.
While Wright State's 44 kills came on a .303 attack percentage, YSU hit .071, due in large part to 20 attack errors.
The Raiders scored 14 of the first 17 points in the opening set, and Youngstown State responded by taking a 10-8 lead in the second. Wright State outscored the Penguins 17-3 the rest of the way to take a 2-0 lead in the match.
YSU switched to a 6-2 offense and posted 15 kills on a .233 hitting percentage in the third set. Householder had six of her 10 kills in the set, and Graffice had five in eight attempts.
