Lack of rhythm and slow starts caused the Kent State volleyball team to drop two of its three games this weekend at the Bulldog Brawl in Indianapolis.
Santa Clara 3, Kent State 1
Kent State struggled to find a consistent rhythm in its first game of the tournament.
In the first set, Santa Clara (5-7) started up, 7-3, then Kent State recovered to tie it at 13. The Flashes took a 17-16 lead, but Santa Clara scored the next three points and closed it out, 25-21.
Kent State won a closely contested second set that had five lead changes, 25-22.
