Box Score
Â
NORFOLK, Va. – The Marshall University volleyball team (6-6, 0-1 Sun Belt) fell in its Sun Belt Conference opener (25-13, 25-27, 25-20, 25-23) in Norfolk, Virginia, to the ODU Monarchs (6-8, 1-0 Sun Belt) on Thursday night. Graduate student Macy McElhaney recorded the 500th kill in her collegiate career.
Â
McElhaney had a double-double in the contest with 16 kills and a team-high 12 digs. Sophomore Brynn Brown collected her seventh double-double of the season with 34 assists and 11 digs.
Â
Senior Lydia Montague had a team-high 17 kills and three blocks to go with a .538 hitting percentage.
Â
After the Herd dropped the opening set 25-13, the second set was a see-saw battle. It featured six lead changes and saw the score tied 16 times. ODU held the largest lead of the set with score 20-16. However, Marshall tallied seven of the next 10 points, including a pair of kills by Macy McElhaney, along with kills by Brown and Montague, to knot the score at 23 all. Then a kill by redshirt junior Olivia Fogo and a service ace by freshman Eden McElhaney, clinched the set 27-25 for Marshall.
Â
The two squads traded off the first 20 points of the third set. Macy McElhaney then collected the 500th kill in her collegiate career to give the Herd an 11-10 lead. After the score was tied 15-15, the Monarchs took control of the frame and took the third set 25-20.
Â
In the fourth set, no side led by more than three points, but ODU closed out the match by taking the set with a narrow 25-23 margin.
UP NEXT
The Herd closes its opening Sun Belt Conference weekend with another matchup against the Monarchs at 6:30 p.m. on Friday in Norfolk.
