Volleyball Dropped By Kansas In Three Games
Sept. 21, 2002
NORMAN -The Oklahoma volleyball team lost in consecutive games to the Kansas Jayhawks 30-23, 30-19, 30-20, Saturday inside the Horejsi Family Athletic Center on the Kansas campus. OU drops to 3-7 overall and 1-1 in Big 12 play, while Kansas improves to 9-1 and 1-1 in conference.
"Unforced errors hurt us again," said OU Head Coach Kalani Mahi. "When we limit our unforced errors we are a successful team, but when we struggle in that area we can't maintain any momentum. This is the Big 12, so there is no time to dwell on this defeat. We have to move on and get ready for a solid Texas team Wednesday (Sept. 25) night."
The Sooners were led by sophomore middle blocker Candice Woods who had nine kills and a .316 hitting percentage (9K-3E-19TA). Senior outside hitter Megan O'Connell had another solid outing with eight kills and five digs. Sophomore outside hitter Sheena Werling racked up eight kills as well.
Kansas won the game with its offensive attack. KU outhit OU .324 (52-17-108) to .126 (34-21-103). Kansas also put away 18 more kills with four fewer errors than Oklahoma. The Sooners could only muster one ace in the match, while Kansas had 10.
Oklahoma stops off to battle the No. 24 Texas at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 25, before returning to the Howard McCasland Field House to play Baylor at 2 p.m., Sept. 28, just hours before the football team kickoff against South Florida.
Sept. 28 is "Super Sooner Saturday," so make a day of it by catching both teams. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children. Oklahoma students get free admission with valid student I.D. For more information on Oklahoma volleyball visit www.soonersports.com.
