USI Volleyball sweeps series with EIU

EVANSVILLE, Ind.- University of Southern Indiana Volleyball sweeps its first Ohio Valley Conference home series against Eastern Illinois University to move to 2-2 in conference play.
 
Set 1: USI 25, EIU 19
The Screaming Eagles continued the streak from the first game to take the first set of game two in the series. As a team, USI hit a .412 hitting percentage with 16 kills on just two errors. Freshman setter Aysa Thomas led a balanced offense, so four different Eagles landed at least three kills, led by Leah Coleman, who had four.
 
Set 2: USI 27, EIU 25
USI maintained the lead for most of the set, but the Panthers came back at the 23rd point, forcing the Eagles to battle back and forth to close out the win. Junior Ashby Willis tallied five kills to lead the court in the second set. Freshman Carley Wright doubled her kill total with another three. Sophomore Kerigan Fehr recorded her best set, picking up six digs to help keep the Panthers to their worst hitting percentage of the game.
 
Set 3: USI 25, EIU 21
In a rocky start, the Panthers forced as much as a five-point lead before serving runs from senior Keira Moore and Willis allowed the Eagles to retake control of the game. Thomas added three kills on her own, while dishing out 11 assists to get three Eagles to at least three kills. Sophomore libero Audrey Small led the back court with 10 digs in the final set.
 
For the game, Thomas tallied 31 assists, 10 digs, five kills, and two blocks to mark a double-double and a career-high in kills. Willis recorded 11 kills, 12 digs, and two solo blocks to mark her sixth double-double of 2025. Coleman tied with Willis to lead the team with 11 kills.

This series marks the first time a USI team has not dropped a set to an OVC opponent in a two-game series. 

Next up, the Screaming Eagles hit the road for an OVC series with Southeast Missouri State University on October 9th and 10th in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Fans can follow USI Athletics on Facebook, Instagram, and X for game coverage and online at usiscreamingeagles.com.
