Tulsa, Okla. - The University of Tulsa volleyball squad got an all-star performance from its player of the year candidate, as senior Julia Silva posted her fifth triple-double of the season against Tulane on Sunday afternoon. However, the Green Wave also got an all-star performance from junior Sara Radosevic and sophomore Ksenija Vlaskovic as the two combined for 49 of Tulane's 71 kills in a 3-1 (28-30, 30-23, 30-28, 30-25) victory. A season-best crowd of 297 witnessed the back-and-forth contest, as Tulsa had its 20-home match winning streak snapped. It was the first time as a member of Conference USA the Golden Hurricane had lost a league match in the Reynolds Center.

Senior Fabiola Nepomuceno posted a match-high 27 kills, while freshman Emma Ridley posted 10 more for the Hurricane. Junior Malorey Grove contributed 26 digs for the Hurricane defense, while freshman Nicole Boyle posted 15 and junior Kelsey Wood added 12 more.
