Johnson Helps Power Braves To Four-Set Win At Valpo

VALPARAISO, Ind. -- Bradley Volleyball got back in the win column, salvaging a series split with Valparaiso on the road as freshman Abby Johnson tallied a season-best 19 kills to help power the Braves to an 18-25, 25-19, 25-22, 25-19 victory Monday at the Athletics-Recreation Center.

Johnson entered the road series at Valparaiso with 23 kills on the season, but followed up a then season-best nine kills in Sunday's series opener with a new season-high 19 kills to highlight Bradley's offensive efforts in Monday's win. The Braves (8-4 overall, 8-4 MVC) moved back into second in the Missouri Valley Conference standings with the victory, improving to 3-4 on the road this season.
