Irish Fall Short At No. 5 SMU
DALLAS, Texas – The Notre Dame volleyball team battled late, but fell short on the road at fifth-ranked SMU in three sets, 14-25, 23-25, 20-25.
Sydney Helmers spearheaded the Notre Dame attack with a team-high 13 kills, eight digs, and two blocks, while Mae Kordas chipped in eight kills and five digs to bolster the offensive effort.
On the defensive side, Maya Evens posted a match-best 12 digs for the Irish, and Anna Bjork controlled the net with six blocks. Bjork’s presence highlighted a balanced defensive front that saw six different Irish players register at least one block.
