Ragin’ Cajuns push the Sooners well into the second stage of each set
NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma was forced to rally in each set to collect its 3-0 (25-19, 25-21, 25-19) win over Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Volleyball on the final day of the Oklahoma Nike Invitational held at McCasland Field House.
Â
Louisiana (4-6) was in a one-point battle near the midway point each set, holding a 15-14 advantage in both the first and third frames. The Sooners (6-2) managed to find a late push each time to fend off the visitors.
Â
A kill from Dree'Ana Abram drew a 19-all tie for the Ragin' Cajuns in the second set, providing an opportunity to even the match. However, the hosts would record key side outs down the stretch.
Â
Kelsey Bennett served up each of the first three points for Louisiana in the third set, sparking a strong start which led to a 14-6 lead. OU would score eight straight points to draw even, then pulled off another late push to close out the match.
Â
The contest closed out Louisiana's first road outing of the 2019 season. The present three-week road trip continues next weekend at Florida's Gators Invitational.
Â
LEADING THE RAGIN' CAJUNS
Celeste Darling landed nine kills leading a quartet of Ragin' Cajuns who had at least six kills in leading the team to its weekend-best of 37 kills.
Â
Abram found the floor eight times on her 21 swings, while Hali Wisnoskie and Bennett chipped in six kills apiece.
Â
Hannah Ramirez's season-high 24 digs led all players and charged Louisiana to its weekend-high of 62 digs. Wisnoskie collected 14 digs and Avery Breaux posted 12 digs.
Â
Breaux handed out 20 assists and was joined by fellow setter Claire Turner (11 assists) for the first time in running the 6-2 system.
Â
Abram and Darling where a strong force at the net, each tallying four blocks. Abram reached four blocks for the fourth time this season.
