MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University volleyball team (8-14, 2-9 Big 12) was defeated in three sets, 3-0 by No. 8 Kansas on Saturday afternoon at the Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena in Lawrence, Kansas.
Â
The Jayhawks took the sweep with scores of 18-25, 13-25 and 18-25, remaining undefeated in Big 12 play.
Â
Senior outside hitter Hailey Green led West Virginia with 12 kills, while hitting .242%. Redshirt junior outside hitter Cassidy Tanton collected seven kills, while adding nine digs.
Â
Junior middle blockers Laila Ibrahim and Chalina Lederer, alongside sophomore middle blocker Maddy McGath tallied three total blocks each.
Â
Green kicked off the first set with a kill, as WVU led 1-0, early in the match. The Mountaineers would hold the lead until the score was tied at four. KU proceeded with a 6-0 scoring run, taking a 10-4 advantage. Ibrahim chipped in a pair of kills, as WVU trailed 18-12. A kill from McGath paired with an error from KU looked to slow the Jayhawks, as they held the 23-17 lead. Kansas continued, taking the first set with a kill, 25-18.
Â
Kansas showed dominance at the beginning of the second set, with a 5-1 lead. A kill from freshman outside hitter Nina Svetina followed by a Jayhawk error got the Mountaineers within three points, trailing 9-6. Kansas chipped in a 5-1 run, leading by as many as seven points, 14-7. A service ace from McGath would seal a 3-0 West Virginia run, before three straight KU points made the score, 17-10.

Â
An error from the Jayhawks tied the third and final set at one, kicking off the set. A 3-0 West Virginia run gave the Mountaineers the lead for the first time in the set, 7-6. The Mountaineers continued to hold the lead until the score was knotted at 12 all. A trio of Jayhawk points kept WVU at bay, as they trailed 15-12. A kill from Green looked to change the momentum for the Mountaineers, before a 3-0 Kansas run made the score, 19-14. The Jayhawks looked for victory as a 4-0 run made the win look eminent, before a kill from McGath would stop the Jayhawks at match point, 24-18. Kansas went on to close the final set with a kill, 25-18.
