10/30/2016 2:55:00 PM | Volleyball
TULSA, Okla. –– The University of Tulsa Volleyball team swept (25-20, 25-23, 25-21) Houston at the Reynolds Center on Sunday afternoon, moving to 2-0 on the weekend after beating Tulane on Friday evening. The Hurricane (15-9, 4-8 AAC) were effective down the stretch in all three sets, using late runs to grab leads before finishing out the frames.
Brooke Berryhill led the Tulsa defense with 18 digs as she finished her weekend with 47 in seven sets while Rachel Moore posted six total blocks. Erica Bohannon finished with a match-high 13 kills on a .267 hitting-percentage for a TU attack that out-hit Houston (5-18, 0-12 AAC) .208 to .147 on the afternoon.
The Hurricane put together one of those set-securing runs at the end of the first frame after they found themselves behind for the first time as the Cougars took a one point lead at 17-16 before going ahead 18-17. Tulsa outscored Houston 8-2 in the closing moments of the set to take it 25-20. TU hit a blistering .370 in the frame while Bohannon recorded six of her 13 kills.
Bohannon continued to lead the attack in the second set, tallying five kills with a .526 hitting-percentage through the first two sets as Tulsa put together another late run that secured a 25-23 win. Houston led 8-4 early in the frame before the Hurricane retook the lead on an Emily Thorson kill at 10-9. With the match squared at 20-20, TU converted on four of the next five points to go ahead by three before closing out the set.
A 4-0 Tulsa run early in the third put the Hurricane up 8-6 before stretching their lead to four and forcing a Houston timeout. After three straight Cougar points tied the match at 14, the Hurricane outscored their opponent 10-4 to see match point at 24-18. Houston showed some resistance down the stretch before a Bohannon kill gave TU a 25-21 win and the match.
The Hurricane will hit the road for a pair of matches next weekend, beginning with a contest at East Carolina on Friday at 6 p.m. before heading to Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats at noon on Sunday.
