TAMPA, SEPT. 19, 2015 – A career-high 17 digs along with five kills and a pair of aces highlighted another standout performance from junior Alexus Heidelberg Saturday, as the Bulls fell to Auburn in their first match back in the Sun Dome since the building's remodel.
Playing primarily in the back row, Heidelberg (Winter Garden) chased down nearly six digs per set, but it wasn't enough to slow Auburn's offense, as the Tigers pounded home 41 kills and added 10 blocks to top USF in three sets, 25-17, 25-14, 25-21.
The Bulls played Auburn close in the first set, causing six ties and a lead change before the Tigers used a late offensive surge, picking off 11 of the last 15 points to separate from USF in a 25-17 first-set win.
