Mustangs Open Big West Play With Sweep of Long Beach State
9/24/2021 9:38:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Redshirt senior outside hitter Jamie Stivers recorded her fourth double-double of the season and five Mustangs had at least five kills as the Cal Poly volleyball team opened Big West play Friday by sweeping Long Beach State 3-0 (25-17, 25-23, 25-19) on the road.
Stivers led the Mustangs (3-9, 1-0 BWC) with a match-high 10 kills while also adding 10 digs and three blocks. It is her sixth straight match with double-digit kills. Junior setter Avalon DeNecochea dished out 32 assists to go along with seven blocks and four digs. Junior middle blocker Meredith Phillips had a season-high eight blocks while also contributing five kills. Freshman libero Peyton Dueck led Cal Poly in digs with 15 while junior defensive specialist Lea Ungar had a season-high 13 digs on the night.
Defense was the key for the Mustangs in the match. Cal Poly held Long Beach State (6-6, 0-1 BWC) to a .052 hitting percentage while also recording a season-high 13 blocks as a team.
In the first set alone, Cal Poly held Long Beach State to a -.051 hitting percentage and had seven blocks. The Mustangs started the set by getting out to a 4-1 lead. After Long Beach State rallied to take a 9-7 lead, Cal Poly went on a 7-1 run to go up 14-10. Leading 15-12, the Mustangs pulled away by scoring four straight points. Up 21-17, Cal Poly ended the set on a 4-0 run to win it 25-17.
Long Beach State flipped the script from the first set, starting off the second set getting out to a 4-1 lead. Down 6-3, Cal Poly scored three straight points to tie it at 6. They went back-and-forth from there until, with the Mustangs trailing 18-15, Cal Poly scored six consecutive points to take the lead 21-18. Long Beach State then regained the lead after going on a 4-1 run down 22-19 to tie it at 23. From there, the Mustangs scored back-to-back points to take the set 25-23.
Cal Poly scored the first four points of the third set to force an early Long Beach State timeout. Up 11-9, the Mustangs scored four consecutive points to go ahead by six. After Long Beach State cut the lead to 20-16, Cal Poly scored three straight points to pull away 23-16 and went on to clinch the sweep 25-19.
With the win, the Mustangs are now 45-4 in conference matches since 2017.
Cal Poly will look to improve that record Saturday when the Mustangs travel to Cal State Fullerton to face the Titans at 5 p.m.
