NORMAN, Okla. - The University of Oklahoma volleyball team (2-9, 1-1) won its first Big 12 Conference match of the season Saturday night against previously undefeated Kansas (10-1, 1-1) in four games inside the OU Field House. The Sooners lost the first game 30-24 but rallied back 30-27, 31-29 and 30-28 to break the Jayhawks' 10-match winning streak.
"It feels really nice to win," said OU Head Volleyball Coach Kalani Mahi. "That's obviously at the front of our minds right now. This match helps us to believe in ourselves and our abilities."
Junior Denise Griffin and sophomore Logan Pierce led the Sooners offensively with 15 and 14 kills, respectively. Pierce had her third double-double of the season by chipping in 13 digs. Junior Lindsay Hoyt recorded her first double-double of the season with 10 kills and 15 digs while adding five block assists.
Freshman Candice Woods led the team in hitting percentage with a .357 while matching Hoyt's five block assists, a career high. Defensively, junior Jessica Barney led the team with 17 digs, a career high.
"In the first game I used a lineup I had never tried before, so in the second game I brought Logan Pierce back in her normal spot and put Denise Griffin opposite her and it worked great," said Mahi. "It was something that worked tonight and it worked well."
KU's Molly Scavuzzo produced a team-high 15 kills while Jennifer Kraft had a team-high 18 digs. The Sooners held the Jayhawks to a .122 hitting percentage.
As at team, OU hit .195, had 54 kills and hustled for a season-best 66 digs. Oklahoma also had 11 blocks to KU's seven.
