We played well enough to win tonight but we will have to be more consistent tomorrow to come away with two more victories,” Coach Jason Kepner said. “The seniors from Iowa played well in their first match home. It was nice to feel like the home team on a road trip having about 75 fans here cheering for Charleston.”

Defensively the Cougars tallied 10 blocks and 63 digs. Four players earned double digit digs in Emily Sawin (10), Paige Johnson (12), Megan Parkerson (11), and Cole Dawley (13). Kane, Uthe, and Blum, all Iowa natives saw a productive day accounting for 35 of the 61 total points scored by Charleston.
Brittany May led Ball State offensively, earning a team high .296 attack percentage with 10 kills. Abby Lavigne added 11 kills in the effort, May and Lavigne tallied 22 points of the 45 that were scored. Alyssa Rio led the team with 19 digs.
