Youngstown, Ohio — Fifth-year senior Abbie Householder broke Youngstown State's career digs record on Senior Night as the Penguins fell 3-0 to Green Bay in YSU's regular-season finale. The set scores from Zidian Family Arena at Beeghly Center were 25-17, 25-21, 25-19.
Householder's record-breaking dig came in the opening set, and she finished the night with 10 digs to increase her career total to 1,502. She passed Jill Raslevich's previous record of 1,495 that had stood since 1995.
Householder and Teagan Ng were honored prior to the game, and Householder tied for the team lead with eight kills and her 10 digs. Kylie Surratt also had eight kills, Journey Nicola had 10 digs, and Wrigley Takats finished with four aces.
Green Bay's back-row defense limited the Penguins to 25 kills and a .067 attack percentage as the Phoenix finished with 66 digs. Macy Kline led all players with 20 digs, and three other Green Bay players reached double digits. Kayla Birmingham and Diane Pichelman led the Phoenix offensively with 11 kills apiece.
Green Bay raced out to a 13-4 lead on its way to a 25-17 win in the opening set, and the Phoenix went on a 9-3 run to close out the second set. The Penguins led 18-16 following an Ava Stratton block, but Green Bay scored four straight points out of a timeout to go up 0-18 and held the lead the rest of the way.
Green Bay went on another four-point run following a timeout in the third set to flip a 13-11 deficit into a 15-13 lead. Kameron Blizniak's ace allowed YSU to get within 20-18 later in the set, and Green Bay scored five of the final six points.
Youngstown State will be either the third seed or fourth seed in next week's Horizon League Volleyball Championship. The conference office will announce the full slate of tournament matches on Saturday.
