Eutectics Win First AMC Matchup

HANNIBAL, MO. – The Eutectic women's volleyball team traveled to Hannibal-LaGrange University (1-4) on Thursday for the first American Midwest Conference (AMC) matchup of the season, posting its first season victory with a dominant straight-set win over the Trojans.

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS:

UHSP def. HLGU   25-11, 25-13, 25-15

• The Eutectics dominated play from start to finish, racking up 35 kills on 89 attempts in the match for their highest attacking percentage so far this season of .213.
• The Trojans had their chances, taking 81 swings, but notched only nine kills in the match, due in large part to stellar Eutectic defense, which combined for a team season-high 71 digs. MaKenzie Uribe (15), Jenna Brinson (13), and Ava Baggett (10) were major contributors to that defense, each racking up double digits for digs.
• UHSP's front line recorded six blocks, led by Sierra Aplanalp's three block assists, to tie the team's highest total for three-set matches this year.
• Sumanpreet Kaur hit a season-high 12 kills on 18 attempts with only one error to lead the Eutectics with a whopping .611 attacking percentage.
• Brinson collected 31 assists on the night, as the HLGU team was limited to a total of six.
• Hannah Duggan, Kiley Dyer, and Uribe each pitched in two service aces.
