This past weekend in downtown Columbus at Nationwide Arena, the site for the 2016 NCAA Championships, the Buckeyes Women’s Volleyball Squad, 11th nationally, dominated on a pair of sweeps Friday, Sept. 2. LIU Brooklyn and Wyoming got doubled up by the Buckeyes in kills (reaching 101 for the day), while allowing just 49 terminations.
Ohio State completely overwhelmed LIU Brooklyn by 28 points (25-11, 25-17, 25-19) – to begin the day. The evening match against Wyoming was equal in impressiveness clipping a plus-20 margin (25-22, 25-17, 25-16).
The Ohio State University attacked at a .387 overall performance which was led by Ashley Wentz and All-American Taylor Sandbothe attacking .593 and .562, respectively – combining for 38 kills. Luisa Schirmer anchored the offense efforts – delivering a team-high 22 kills in the Buckeyes sweeps. Schirmer and Sandbothe toed for the team in points, both having 26 tallies. Schirmer added two service aces and four blocks assists to her 22 kills’ performance, Taylor Sandbothe had 10 block assists and an ace to hit the 26-point mark.
Valeria León would deliver 22 digs, while Schirmer had 17 digs, Kalisha Goree would have 14 digs and Audra Appold had 13 digs of her own. LIU Brooklyn and Wyoming combined could only show 52 digs. León’s career digs have now risen to 1,313. She now sits in fifth place in school history.
In the nightcap (7:00 p.m.) against BYU, the Buckeyes fell 3-2 in a five-set thriller. The loss was to the 10th ranked team nationally, but it by no means equates to a disappointment. This team has started out of the gates with enormous promise, and has not wavered. BYU, simply, outlasted our Buckeyes – for now!
All of the Buckeyes put on quite a show … promising explosiveness and fun in this young season.
Seniors Valeria León and Taylor Sandbothe are on a mission – with focuses on the Ohio State record books:
León
Her 3.30 digs per set rank third in OSU history (school record – 3.45 digs/set – Chelsea Noble; 2008-09). Her 1,313 total digs ranks fifth.
Sandbothe
1.14 blocks per set rank second in OSU history (school record – 1.19 blocks/set – Shellye Sills; 1997-99).
90 solo blocks rank second (school record – 139 – Sherri Rinker; 1984-87)
430 total blocks rank fourth (school record – 517 – Dawn McDougall; 1988-91)
.305 attacking efficiency ranks sixth (school record – .366 – Sara Daniel; 1991-94)
350 block assists rank eighth (school record – 442 – Dawn McDougall; 1988-19)
The 11th ranked Buckeyes get a breather until this coming weekend, September 9th & 10th; they travel to Springfield, MO for the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational where they will meet up with IUPUI, Missouri State, and Green Bay. Stay Tuned.
