SAN DIEGO -- Close again, the Wyoming Cowgirls came up just a bit short in Mountain West Conference volleyball action on Saturday, falling to San Diego State in five games.
The Aztecs, 2-5 in MWC, 7-10 overall, won the first two games 25-19 and 25-16, before the Cowgirls won the next two, 25-18 and 25-21. San Diego State held on in the fifth game, 16-14, for the win.
The loss dropped the Cowgirls to 1-5, 10-10.
“Overall, I was proud of the way we battled back,” said UW head coach Carrie Yerty. “To fall behind two sets, and then come back and be in the match is something they can be proud of. Junior Dani Bedore had a great match and our freshmen did a good job after falling behind.”
Two Cowgirls finished the match in doubles doubles, including freshman Jodi Purdy, who had 21 kills and 11 digs, while hitting .286 (21-7-49) for the match. Junior Lauren Whitney added 11 kills, while three other players had six kills. Senior Jessica Kagarise finished with a team high 17 digs. As a team, Wyoming hit .239 (51-17-142) and had eight total team blocks.
San Diego State was led by Lauren Salisbury with 19 kills and four blocks, while Andrea Hannasch finished with 10 kills and four blocks. They hit .260 (64-25-150) and had nine total team blocks.
The Cowgirls will return home next week for two matches. They will host the Utah Utes on Thursday and the BYU Cougars on Saturday. Both matches are slated to start at 7 p.m.
