Volleyball silences the Musketeers

[Sonja]

Wow. Cards Volleyball dominated Xavier yesterday up in Cincy .

Claire Chaussee had 17 kills, hit .667 with six digs and a block to guide the #10-ranked University of Louisville volleyball team to a straight set sweep (25-16, 25-12, 25-10) win over Xavier Saturday evening at the Cintas Center.

The Cardinals go to 8-0 and used .425 hitting and out-blocked XU 8-1. Emily Scott had seven kills on 11 swings and no errors and added five blocks on her first start of the season. Aiko Jones added five kills and six blocks in the winning effort.

The Muskies, now 3-4, hit .045 with no aces, and one block. Delaney Hogan led her team with nine kills and a block.

The VolleyCards come home this Wednesday for the Battle of the Bluegrass -- Volleyball style -- when defending national champion Kentucky visits L&N Federal Credit Union Arena at 7 p.m. The Cats struggled to beat Marquette yesterday.

I noticed that Amaya Tilman did not play against Xavier. Does anyone know why? She was the leading blocker on the team leading up to this last game.

Word is it was just a resting situation. With UK Wednesday, Dani tries to build in a little inactivity where she can for the stars whe she can. Rest assured, she is fine. DeBeer, you may have noticed got some rest in the Xavier game Sunday.

Thanks for the information. I hope both Tillman and DeBeersare well rested and play well. It is hard to believe that the Cards have not won a volleyball match from the "kittens" in SEVEN YEARS. This has to be the year to break that streak!!!
