Swackenberg matches Big Ten career high with 16 digs
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (Oct. 28, 2017) ā Rutgers volleyball fell in straight sets to No. 5 Minnesota on Saturday evening at the College Ave. Gym by scores of 25-9, 25-11, 25-14.
Ā
The Scarlet Knights (5-19, 0-12 Big Ten) received a match-high 16 digs from sophomore libero Karysa Swackenberg, who matched her Big Ten career high against the Golden Gophers (21-2, 10-2). Minnesota, who has not been ranked lower than No. 6 throughout the 2017 season, used a .398 hitting percentage, six blocks and seven service aces for its ninth straight victory.
Ā
Rutgers' offense was paced by junior outside hitter Sahbria McLetchie and freshman opposite hitter Kamila Cieslik, who had seven kills apiece. Sophomore middle blocker Stasa Miljevic added five kills on a team-high .286 attack clip. Saturday marked the 13th match that Miljevic reached at least five kills through 24 dates.
Ā
Highlighting the first set was a 36-touch rally that saw the ball cross the net 14 times. Miljevic finished the rally with a point for Rutgers, killing a pass from sophomore setter Megan Sharkey following a dig by Swackenberg.
Ā
In the third, redshirt junior Brooke Enners, the lone Scarlet Knight from New Jersey, ignited the hometown crowd with a kill from Sharkey to bring Rutgers within 19-14. The attack finished off a 4-2 run that saw two kills from McLetchie and another from Miljevic.
Ā
Sophomore middle blocker Jasmine Stackhouse was involved in both of Rutgers' blocks against Minnesota, picking up two assists to bring her total season block total to 65.
Ā
The Scarlet Knights will hit the road for another midweek Big Ten match at Michigan on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. to close out the season series.
