Morgantown, W.Va. ? Kansas University’s volleyball team recorded its 17th sweep of the season Saturday against West Virginia, 25-20, 25-16, 25-17.
Sophomore Madison Rigdon paced the Jayhawks with nine kills, and Tiana Dockery and Kelsie Payne added seven apiece.
Ainise Havili dished 34 assists to fuel KU offensively, and Cassie Wait held down the fort on the defensive end with 17 digs. Tayler Soucie added seven blocks.
“You have to give West Virginia credit — they out-dug us (47-41),” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “Here’s a team that, even though their season hasn’t gone the way they hoped, has gotten much better throughout the season. They are much, much better than the team we saw in Lawrence. That said, we weren’t as terminal as we would like to be. We blocked well and served pretty well. We will never take a road win in the Big 12 for granted.”
The Jayhawks (24-2 overall, 12-2 in the Big 12) will play at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Kansas State.
