Rams Open CSU Tournament with Win over Ball State
9/8/2017 3:20:00 PM | Volleyball
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – No. 25 Colorado State started its tournament with a 3-1 win over Ball State on Friday afternoon in Moby Arena. The Rams dropped the first set, but rebounded nicely to take the first match of the day.
Redshirt freshman, Breana Runnels recorded a career-high 19 kills, while Sanja Cizmic, Paulina Hougaard-Jensen and Jasmin Hanna all reached double-figure kills. Katie Oleksak tallied 52 assists and added seven digs, while Amanda Young had 16 saves. Olivia Nicholson and Young both dropped in a pair of service aces.
Colorado State finished the match at a .241 clip, while putting up 12.5 blocks.
Ball State started the match quickly, building an eight point lead before the Rams got in sync. Colorado State chipped away at the Cardinals' lead and eventually tied the set at, 18-18. Ball State held its lead down the stretch, taking the first set 25-21.
The Cardinals kept their momentum going into the second frame, again building a 6-2 lead, but this time it wouldn't last. The Rams came back to tie it 9-9 and went on to take the next four points to claim a 13-9 advantage. CSU looked to tie the match holding a lead, but Ball State came back and grabbed set-point at 24-23 and again at 25-24. Colorado State dug deep and rambled off three-straight points to come back and win the set, 27-25.
Following the comeback, the Rams gained confidence and turned the tables in game three, building a 9-2 lead early. CSU would go on to hold the lead the entire match and stuff a late-run by the Cardinals to take a one-set advantage in the match.
The fourth frame had a match-high eight tie scores and three lead changes. The Rams built a 4-1 lead to begin the set, but the Cardinals retaliated and took an 8-6 lead. The two teams would battle back-and-forth through the match – without anyone leading by more than two points. CSU eventually put together a five-point run to take an 18-13 lead – one that it wouldn't relinquish.
The Rams will stay in Moby Arena and host No. 16 Michigan later today (Friday) starting at 6 p.m.
