Vandal volleyball came into the Memorial Gym Friday night against Portland State hoping to tie North Dakota for the best conference record in the Big Sky North. Idaho (12-9, BSC 7-3) was swept in the contest, but made frequent comeback runs against a strong offensive attack from Portland State (17-5, BSC 8-2), a team that holds the Big Sky’s second-best record.
Junior outside-hitter Sarah Sharp led the game in kills, recording 15 and improving on her .240 attacking percentage by hitting .400. Sharp came in clutch in significant moments, often putting the momentum back on Idaho’s side.
Idaho head coach Debbie Buchanan said the team battled and came back in some key moments, but needs to improve in some areas to accomplish its goals.
