The Wichita State volleyball team opened its season with a three-set sweep against Holy Cross on Friday. It was the team’s first match during the Penn State classic.
Only two starters from last season’s team, Megan Taflinger and Emma Wright, made the starting lineup for the Shockers in the season opener. Taflinger was on the outside while Wright was in the middle. Senior libero Kara Bown was the only other returner who made the starting lineup.
The Shockers outscored the Crusaders 54-34 on their way to a sweep. As a team, WSU tallied 45 kills on 41 assists, and recorded 60 digs.
