Bronchos Sweep Pitt State Again

PITTSBURG, Kan. – No. 20 Central Oklahoma cruised to a 3-0 sweep of Pittsburg State for the second time in 10 days.
 
UCO (13-2, 4-1 MIAA) won 25-17, 25-12, 25-16 over Pitt State (6-7, 2-3 MIAA). The Bronchos hit .242 in the match, putting down more than a dozen kills in each set.
 
Jenna Karp continued her dominant play with 14 kills on a .444 hitting percentage performance. She had only two errors in 27 attacks. The junior from Texas is Top 15 in the country in hitting percentage, is at .401 for the year following Tuesday night. Karp also had four digs and two block assists on the night.
 
Sydney Huck also had 10 kills and a handful of others joined in. Mallorie Koehn had six kills, Addison Wimmer, five, Lindsey Houran, four, and Mikiah Perdue, three. Houran set the offense up. The sophomore dished out 33 assists, with 11, 10, and 12 in each set.
 
Defensively, Perdue's four block assists led the way at the net. Koehn, Karp, Wimmer, and Huck all got in on two blocks each. Behind that, Jaedyn Evans' 16 digs led the defense. But it was a well-rounded effort. Huck added 15 digs, and Katie Le and Kaitlyn Parrott each had 11 digs.
 
Central Oklahoma came out firing, leading 11-1 in the first set Tuesday night. After a 3-0 start, Pitt State scored its first point on a UCO attack error. Then the Bronchos rattled off eight straight to take control of the match early. Central maintained a 10-point lead throughout the match after the early onslaught and picked up a 25-17 first-set win.
 
The second set had a few ties, but all were early before another Broncho blitz. The second set was tied, 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3. UCO led 10-3 soon after. There were five attack errors by Pitt State during that 7-0 run with two blocks by the Bronchos. Koehn and Karp also had kills in the rally that put the Bronchos in the driver seat for another set. UCO, 25-15.
 
UCO didn't quite pull away in the final set, but the Bronchos were also never in danger. The set was tied, 5-5, 6-6, and 7-7. UCO took a small lead after that and never looked back on its way to a 25-16 win and sweep of Pittsburg State.
 
Central Oklahoma wraps up a big three-game road trip, 2-1. The Bronchos will be home now this weekend for Homecoming. UCO is hosting Central Missouri Friday night at 5 p.m. as part of UCO's Rock the Block festivities. The Bronchos are also scheduled to host Missouri Southern Saturday night after the football game at 6 p.m. in Hamilton Field House.
