The Emporia State Hornet volleyball team hit the road this weekend, where they dominated Missouri Southern in four sets before losing to Central Oklahoma on Saturday.

Friday’s match against MSSU started with a 25-21 victory in the first set for the Hornets, followed by a blowout 25-16 Hornet win in the second set. The third set saw three ties and three lead changes before the Lions took control, costing a 25-18 win. The Hornets went on to dominate the fourth and final set 25-19 to take the match 3-1.

The Hornets traveled to Edmond, Oklahoma Saturday night to take on the COSU Bronchos. The Hornets dropped the first set 25-22 despite four ties and two lead changes. The second set was not so closely contested, as the Bearcats easily defeated the Hornets 25-17. ESU bounced back in the third set, never trailing, to win the third set 25-19. A 9-1 run in the fourth and final set gave the match to COSU, 25-13.

Carly Spicer, senior hitter, was the only ESU player to reach double figures with 22 kills and two blocks. Courtney Hearing, senior hitter, added seven kills and five blocks.

The Hornets return home to take on Southwest Baptist tomorrow at 7 p.m. at White Auditorium.
