CU volleyball facing tough opponents

Cameron’s women’s volleyball team faced another challenging day at the UCCS Mountain Lion Classic in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Despite showing moments of resilience, the Aggies dropped both matches on Day 2, bringing their season record to 0-4.

In the first match the Aggies did take a set from the University of Mary but then wound up losing in four sets, 25-15, 21-25, 25-16, and 25-21.

In that match Rhayan Earl led the Aggies’ offense with a team-high 11 kills, Emily Keohen orchestrated the attack with 12 assists and Earl and Hailey Baker each contributed 3 blocks, anchoring the defense.

Cameron also took a set from Fort Hays State, however, the Kansas crew wound up earning the win by the scores of 25-19, 25-11, 20-25, and 25-14.

In their final match of the tournament, the Aggies faced Fort Hays State University. After dropping the first two sets, Cameron showed resilience by securing a victory in the third set. However, Fort Hays State closed out the match in the fourth set.

Key performances in that match included Kayla Eggiman with 15 kills and 16 digs, Emily Keohen with 19 assists and Carsen Glaser made her presence felt at the net with three blocks.

Despite the rocky 0-4 start, the Cameron Aggies volleyball team remains focused on improvement and securing their first win. Head Coach Nathan Martell commented, “While the results aren’t what we hoped for, I’ve seen growth in our team over these four matches. We’re looking forward to applying these lessons in our upcoming tournament.”

The Aggies will next compete in the Oklahoma Baptist tournament, a two-day event featuring non-conference opponents including Oklahoma Baptist at 11:30 a.m. Friday. Saturday the Aggies face McKendree and Southwestern Oklahoma.
