Price Sparks Panthers In Win Over Flames

UWM now 7-2 in league play

CHICAGO - Kayla Price tallied a team-high 31 assists to help lead the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee volleyball team to a 3-0 win over UIC Saturday afternoon from the Flames Athletic Center.
 
Milwaukee (13-10, 7-2 Horizon) jumped out to a quick first-set win before battling in the final two for a well-deserved 25-18, 29-27, 25-21 win – their second Horizon League road victory in less than 24 hours.
 
"It was really important to get that second set," Milwaukee head coach Susie Johnson said. "This was a tough match – it wasn't easy. It was another really good team effort and I'm really proud of this team for putting two matches together back to back. That's hard to do. You have to be really focused. We had a very good game plan, the team executed very well, defensively we were solid and the block was great tonight."
 
The Panthers had 14 blocks in the three-set sweep and held the Flames to just a .077 hitting percentage on the night.
 
Julie Kolinske led the team with 11 kills, while Maggie Dunbar had 10. Taylor Golabowski had a team-high 15 digs and Myanna Ruiz just missed a double-double with nine kills and nine digs.
 
UWM stormed out to a commanding 7-3 lead early to start things off in set No. 1. UIC was able to battle back and knot things up at 13-13, but from there it was all Milwaukee. A kill by Dunbar closed out an impressive 9-3 run by the Panthers to claim the first set in convincing fashion.
 
Things didn't come as easily for UWM in the second. Milwaukee actually trailed 24-20 late in the frame, but Johnson's club battled off four-straight set points to bring things even at 24 apiece. After trading the first few points in extras, Milwaukee forced back-to-back attack errors by UIC to claim win.
 
Milwaukee again jumped out to an early lead in the third set, taking the first three points, before the Flames rallied for an 8-5 lead of their own. UWM rattled off a 7-2 run, capped by a Nicole Latzig kill to retake the lead at 12-10. UIC was able to keep things close, drawing things level at 20-20, but kills from Latzig, Kolinske and Price sparked a 5-1 run to end the set and close out the win for Milwaukee.
 
The Panthers continue their league road swing with a trip to Green Bay next Friday, Oct. 31 for a 7 p.m. match.
