“I thought our ball control was good with Cierra Pesak and Kirby Kliafas, who did a really nice job,” Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. “And I thought that our middle blockers Don’Yah Cosie and Brooke Pattschull carried the team offensively tonight.”
Pattschull had nine kills, three solo blocks, and three block assists for the Bucs, while Cosie finished with five kills, a dig, and a block assist. Sophomore outside hitter Jaedyn Newman paced Blinn with 10 kills, while freshman right-side hitter added eight.
Freshman setters Elizabeth Tyner and Chloe Howard dished out 18 and 16 set assists, respectively.
