Box Score

September 8, 2007

         EVANSVILLE, IND. - Kelsey Hubert collected a team-high 17 kills Saturday as Southern Illinois University Edwardsville walked away with a four-set volleyball victory at Southern Indiana.
         The Cougars, now 8-3 overall, won their first match of the Great Lakes Valley Conference season by holding off Southern Indiana at game point once in game two and twice in game four. USI, 5-4 overall and 1-1 in GLVC play, picked up 17 kills from
Brittani Oliver.
         SIUE came out strong in game one with an easy 30-19 win, matching much of its form that resulted in a Friday night non-conference win at Oakland City 30-11, 30-26, 30-13.
         Samantha Schulte, Emily Rahn and Kate Hofeldt each added double figures in kills. SIUE setter Mallory Clements came within one kill of a triple double, finishing with nine kills, 52 assists and 16 digs.
         Hubert's 17-kill effort was complemented by her game-high seven block assists. Hubert leads the team in blocks for the season with 54.
         SIUE is idle until Tuesday when it continues GLVC play against Quincy. Match time is 7 p.m. at the Vadalabene Center for the season opener.
