Panthers Volleyball Sweeps Weekend Series

EIU won 3-1 in both matches against SEMO

The Panthers closed out the weekend series, winning 3-1 once again. EIU moves to 11-6 (5-2 OVC), while the Redhawks fall to 12-9 (4-4 OVC).  



Set One: EIU is looking to build off a great night one, in which they won the match 3-1. A closer beginning than last night with a tied game, 8-8. SEMO and EIU took turns scoring three straight to begin the match. The multiple-point scoring runs continued into the media timeout, with EIU holding onto a small lead, 15-14. Shortly after the break, EIU caught fire, scoring four unanswered points to take a commanding 20-15 lead. The Panthers held strong defensively, closing out the set 25-18 after Tori Mohesky recorded a service ace.  



Set Two: After winning set one, the Panthers controlled set two early with a 7-2 lead. SEMO provided resistance, closing the deficit to within two. However, EIU put their foot on the gas pedal, fueling a 4-0 scoring run, extending their lead to 16-10. After the media timeout, the Panthers used a strong defensive effort to hold off any potential SEMO comeback. EIU led late 21-15 and exchanged points back-and-forth to avoid any danger.  




Set Three: With a 2-0 match lead, the victory was near. However, SEMO had a different plan. The Redhawks jumped out to a 9-7 lead after two straight kills by Lucy Arndt. EIU was unable to turn the momentum, continuing to trail throughout the set. The Panthers, trailing 19-13, attempted a late comeback, scoring three straight from multiple kills by Tori Mohesky. A few plays later, the Panthers once again charged a long scoring effort. Unfortunately, SEMO held on late to steal set three 25-23.  




Set Four: The Panthers jumped out to a quick 7-4 lead with the hopes of closing out the match. The media timeout called for a break in the action with SEMO leading 15-14. After both teams had time to talk things over, neither was unable to gain separation. SEMO with a small one-point lead was quickly erased after a dominant ending for EIU. The Panthers scored six straight points to take a 24-19 lead. Eastern Illinois closed out the match, winning 3-1 in both matches this weekend. 




By The Numbers: Destiny Walker led the team with 21 kills and a .320 hitting percentage. Catalina Rochaix recorded 48 assists, which was a game high. Defensively, the Panthers were strong, with Ariadna Pereles totaling 26 digs, Rochaix with 15, and Mohesky with 14.  


EIU will be back at home on Tuesday, October 21st, at 6:00 p.m. against Western Illinois.
