Volleyball Sweeps Murray State in Straight Sets

The Flames close out week three of MVC play at 3-3.

CHICAGO – The UIC volleyball team (7-11, 3-3 MVC) could not be stopped Saturday night, defeating Murray State (2-16, 0-6 MVC) in straight sets to conclude its third week of Missouri Valley Conference play.

Sophomore Emma Colombari led UIC's attack, completing the double-double with 13 kills and 11 digs. Senior Tamara Kisic collected 11 kills, four total blocks and two service aces. Senior Gabi Peter also had 11 kills in the win.

The Flames rallied from a 24-21 deficit to win the opening set 29-27. Kills by freshman Maryam Hussein and Kisic, followed by a block from the pair, evened the score at 24-24. After Murray State regained the lead, Hussein tied the set at 25-25 before freshman Robyn Ward put UIC ahead 26-25 with a kill. Kisic later gave the Flames a 28-27 advantage, and Colombari sealed the set with a kill.

UIC carried the momentum into the second set, overcoming a 9-8 deficit to build a 13-10 lead. The Flames maintained their advantage and led 19-17 before closing the set with six consecutive points for a 25-17 win. Colombari served the final five points, while Kisic recorded two kills during the run, including the set winner.

The Flames pulled away in the third set after taking a 17-13 lead, winning seven of the next eight rallies to move within a point of the set. Kisic served during a four-point stretch that featured kills by sophomore Sasha Pellettieri, Ward and Colombari, followed by a Murray State attack error. Sophomore Ana Petrides capped the set with a kill off a set from senior Mihaela Harizanova, securing a 25-15 victory.
