KENT, Ohio - - The Ball State women's volleyball team held off a pair of late rallies Saturday afternoon to earn a pivotal 3-0 (25-22, 25-20, 25-22) Mid-American Conference victory over Kent State at the M.A.C. Center.
"We have to learn how to close out sets," head coach Kelli Miller Phillips said. "We must learn that toughness and find who our go-to players will be in those clutch moments. We are continuing to work through it, and hopefully getting a little better each week."
With the win, which was capped by junior outside Katie Egenolf's match-best 15th kill, the Cardinals (12-8; 5-4 MAC) moved above .
