USI takes down Panthers to open Screaming Eagles Arena

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team christened the Screaming Eagles Arena with a three-set knockout (25-12, 26-24, 25-15) of Ohio Dominican University Thursday night.

The Screaming Eagles (4-4) were paced offensively by freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) and senior middle blocker Amanda Jung (Belleville, Illinois). The pair collected 20 kills and five blocks in total.

Freshman setter Kelsie Vanitvelt (Grand Blanc, Michigan) recorded her second double-double of the season with 11 assists and 10 digs, supplementing the starting rotation.

Senior libero Mikaila Humphrey (Floyd Knobs, Indiana) led the way in the back row with 11 digs. Junior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) directed traffic for 18 assists.

1st Set: USI 25, ODU 12

The Eagles took the lead at 5-4 and never looked back, reaching their largest lead of 14 points at 22-8.

Four Eagles tallied kills in the first frame: Anderson (3), Jung (2), Humphrey (2) and senior middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) (2).

2nd Set: USI 26, ODU 24

USI blasted 19 kills on the Panthers in the second frame, though it needed all of them to overcome the second-set charge from ODU.

Five Eagles collected at least three kills in the frame, led by freshman right side hitter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) and senior outside hitter Lindsey Stose (Elkhart, Indiana) with four each.

Four Eagles picked up four-plus digs as well, led by Cepicky with six.

3rd Set: USI 25, ODU 15

Anderson did most of her damage to close the book on the Panthers in the third with six of her 12 kills. She also tallied three digs and two blocks.

The Eagles took a 6-5 advantage and ran away with the match from there, jumping out to an 11-point 23-12 lead.
