MANHATTAN, Kan. – Oklahoma volleyball wrapped up non-conference play with a sweep over Kansas State, 25-20, 25-21, 25-23, Sunday afternoon inside Morgan Family Arena.

The second set was all Oklahoma as the Sooners led wire-to-wire. As a team, the Sooners hit .333, while holding the Wildcats to just .100. Shelton led the way with six kills, while also adding two blocks.

The Sooners were firing on all cylinders in the final set, hitting .485 with 19 kills. OU controlled the set early before the Wildcats tied it at 15-15 and took their first lead at 18-17. With the Sooners at match point, K-State rattled off two quick points to make it 24-23 before a kill from Kamille Gibson clinched the match.
