TEMPE, Arizona - The Utah Valley State volleyball team fell to Arizona State in three games 22-30, 13-30, 21-30 in its first match, but came back to beat Northeastern in five games (31-29, 20-30, 30-26, 27-30, 15-10) in the nightcap match Saturday to earn a split on the final day of the Sun Devil Classic.
Camie Manwill shattered a single match school record with 103 attack attempts (the previous record was 64) and was two kills shy of a school record with 28 against the Huskies. She also recorded her third consecutive double-double in as many matches with 23 digs. Jessia Endres gave Manwill a breather finishing the night with 15 kills and 10 digs for her first double-double.
"Camie did a nice job tonight," said head coach Sam Atoa. "We kept going to her and she kept delivering."
Manwill's performance in the two day tournament earned her a spot on the Sun Devil Classic All-Tournament team.
Lacee Koelliker tallied her second consecutive double-double of the season with 39 assist and 14 digs, and Chelsea Baugh was all over the place on the defensive end finishing with 31 digs (two shy of a school record).
The Sun Devils, who defeated NU in three games on Friday night, hit .317 as a team and held the Wolverines to a .158 hitting clip to secure the sweep in UV's first match.
"We just couldn't get going against ASU," said Atoa. "You to give them credit for coming out and playing well on their home court."
Manwill recorded a double-double for UV tallying a match-high 15 kills and 11 digs. Endres was the only other Wolverine offensive threat finishing with seven kills. Koelliker recorded a double-double with 18 assists and 11 digs.
The Devils were led by Nicole Morton and Margie Giordano who finished with 12 and 11 kills, respectively.
The Wolverines (1-2) will travel to in-state rival Weber State on Tuesday, August 29 for a 7:00 pm match.
