WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Golden Hurricane volleyball team fell to No. 23 Purdue in the Reamer Club Premier championship match in Holloway Gym on Saturday, 3-0 (25-9, 25-11, 25-23).
Despite the loss, the match marks the third time in head coach Ryan Wills' five-year tenure the team has started the season 2-1.
The Boilermakers handled the first set, 25-9, despite freshman Hannah Overmyer making her first collegiate start. Senior Rachel Moore led the Tulsa attack with three kills on six attempts. Freshman Elyse Savadove continued her stellar performance from Friday, adding two kills on six tries.
In set two, Purdue again pulled away after a back-and-forth battle in the first half of the set, taking the frame, 25-11. Junior Taylor Horsfall commanded the back row, managing 10 total digs through two frames.
The Golden Hurricane got off to a hot start in the third set, going up 8-5 as a result of a pair of three-point runs. The Boilermakers would use a pair of 3-0 runs of their own in the middle of the frame to edge out TU, 25-23. Moore and Savadove again led the way offensively, adding four kills in the final set.
As a team, Tulsa combined for 25 kills, 37 digs and 24 assists. Mariah Pardo and Lindsey Ledyard each tallied 11 assists in the loss. Horsfall and Savadove were named to the all-tournament team for their efforts.
The Hurricane return to action next Friday, August 31, as the team travels to the Bruiser Showcase in Tennessee to take on East Tennessee State at 9:30 a.m. and host Belmont at 6 p.m. CT.
