Macedo resets UE dig record against Sycamores
Aces remain on the road next weekend
Â
Redshirt senior Gabriela Macedo recorded a University of Evansville program record 43 digs on Friday evening in a 3-1 road loss to Indiana State.
Today marked the second time Macedo has set the Purple Aces mark this season. She recorded 41 in a win over Eastern Illinois in September. Macedo’s 43 digs is the third-highest total in a 4-set match in the NCAA in 2019 and is tied for the 4th-highest total in Missouri Valley Conference history.
Melanie Feliciano led the offense with 19 kills while Alondra Vazquez and Rachel Tam posted 17 and 12, respectively. Allana McInnis added 40 assists. Indiana State saw five players record double figure kills, led by Cassie Kawa’s total of 11. Melina Tedrow had a strong defensive night of her own, finishing with 44 digs.
Indiana State set the tone early on, jumping out to a 14-7 lead in game one. The Aces roared back when Alondra Vazquez had consecutive kills that cut the deficit to just one – 17-16. ISU was able to record the next point before hanging on for a 25-22 decision.
UE regained its edge in game two, taking an early 5-3 lead on a Hannah Watkins kill. ISU rallied back to tie it up at 7-7 before taking a 16-15 lead. With the score knotted at 17-17, Tam and Vazquez combined for three kills in a row that put UE back in the lead as they would the match, winning by a final of 25-23. The Sycamores tied the set at 23-23, but a Feliciano kill.
Evansville took another lead in the opening moments of the third frame, going up by a 5-3 tally. Indiana State pushed back with four in a row before extending their lead to eight points at 18-10. From there, they would cruse to a 25-20 victory and a 2-1 lead in the match. They clinched the 3-1 match win with a 25-21 win in the fourth set. ISU went up by a 14-10 score before the Aces rallied back. Allana McInnis posted an ace that tied the game at 16-16. The Sycamores responded with three in a row, but the Aces did the same to tie it up at 19-all. Unfortunately, the Sycamores proved to be too much as they scored the final four points, winning by a 25-21 score to win the match.
Next weekend, the Aces remain on the road at Southern Illinois on Friday night before taking on Missouri State on Saturday.

Eagles drop gritty four-setter to UMSL
 The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team battled the University of Missouri-St. Louis to a four-set defeat (25-21, 25-13, 23-25, 28-26) Thursday night in Great Lakes Valley Conference play at the Screaming Eagles Arena.
The Screaming Eagles (8-10, 2-4 GLVC) and Tritons (16-2, 4-2 GLVC) brought their fight to the defensive end, as the two squads recorded attack percentages of .153 and .112, respectively, along with 84 and 87 digs, respectively.
Freshman libero Audrey Crowder (Avon, Indiana) led the back-row effort for the Eagles with a career-high 27 digs and an error-free performance on the reception.
Senior middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) complimented Crowder’s performance with a career-high-tying seven blocks along with six kills.
Three double-doubles were recorded in Thursday’s GLVC contest: senior outside hitter Lindsey Stose (Elkhart, Indiana) with 12 kills and 15 digs, junior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) with 33 assists and 10 digs, and freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) with a USI-leading 14 kills and 11 digs.
After a contested first set, where USI out-hit the Tritons .212-.164 and limited itself to just three attack errors, the Eagles were met by an efficent second set by UMSL. The Tritons manufactured a .312 hitting clip while forcing nine attack errors by the Eagles.
The Eagles stayed resiliant following the 25-13 second-set loss, jumping out to early leads in both the third and fourth sets, including an 11-3 lead in the final frame.
Coleman and freshman right side hitter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) teamed up to stuff the Tritons on numerous occasions over the final two frames. The pair also combined for eight kills in the back-half of the match. Koch finished with nine kills and six blocks, five kills coming in the fourth.
The Eagles fell to UMSL in the fourth set, 28-26, despite the valiant comeback effort. USI was done in by a 12-3 Triton run that began just one point from set-point at 23-16.
USI Volleyball returns to the Screaming Eagles Arena Saturday at 3 p.m. to host GLVC-newcomer Lindenwood University in more league action.
