Through two sets, tonight’s Volleyball match in Akron looked much like UB’s opening MAC weekend, with the Bulls falling behind 0-2 to the Zips.
After the break, though, we saw the best volleyball of the season from the Bulls, who roared back for a 17-25, 21-25, 26-24, 25-22, 15-8 win. Cassie Shado had one of the finest matches we’ve seen since Bull Run started covering the program, with a career-high 22 kills.
Shado’s effort was not an individual talent carrying a team to victory, but merely the highlight of a stellar across-the-board performance from the Bulls. Megan Wernette had seven blocks and was one of three Bulls in addition to Shado with double-digit calls.
