Troy Volleyball Wins Eighth Straight, Returns Home on Thursday
10/17/2015 9:14:00 PM | Volleyball
Â
LAFAYETTE, Louisiana – A wild first-set comeback proved to be key as the Troy volleyball team beat UL Lafayette in five sets, 3-2 (26-24, 14-25, 25-18, 25-27, 15-9), on Saturday night at Earl K. Long Gym. The win moved Troy's winning streak to eight matches, just one shy of the program record of nine that was set in 1994.
Â
Troy (13-11, 6-4) cemented its spot in fourth place in the Sun Belt standings, and did so with some dramatics early. The Trojans trailed the Cajuns, 24-17, in the first set, but scored nine straight points to take a 26-24 win.
Â
"We got into a good scoring and serving rotation and we made the plays we needed to win the first set," Troy head coach Sonny Kirkaptrick said. "It was a see-saw battle. I'm proud of our team for fighting the way they did and it was huge win for us to go 6-4 in conference."
Â
Blair Winston went on to lead the Trojans with 17 kills and was one of three in double-digits. Reina Terry recorded a triple-double with 10 kills, 35 assists and 13 digs. Sara Landis had 13 kills and joined Winston as two Trojans to hit over .300.
Â
UL Lafayette (5-17, 1-9) hit .212 as a team, topping Troy's .152 attack percentage, thanks in large part to the Ragin' Cajuns 14.0 total team blocks.Â
Â
Ali Dowdall led all players with 24 digs, joining Terry, Karissa Carney and Alisha Hinrichs in double figures in that category.
Â
After the first set win, the Trojans saw UL Lafayette hit .650 in the second set and saw the Ragin' Cajuns even the match with a 25-14 win.
Â
Troy held UL Lafayette to a match-low .050 mark in the third set and ran away with a 25-18 win. The Ragin' Cajuns made the plays they needed to down the stretch, winning the fourth set, 27-25, to force a fifth set.
Â
The Trojans jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead in the fifth set and never looked back, downing the Cajuns, 15-9.
Â
Next up for Troy is a big home match against Texas State on Thursday. The Bobcats are 7-2 in Sun Belt play this season with the only two losses to Arkansas State and Appalachian State who have yet to lose a Sun Belt match.
