Fort Hays State volleyball rolled to a 3-1 senior day victory over the Missouri Southern State Lions on Saturday afternoon (Nov. 16). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This victory moves FHSU to a 7-21 overall record and a 4-16 mark in\nconference action to end the 2019 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an early 9-8 scoreline in favor of the Tigers, Missouri Southern, lead\nby Janelle Brehm with 17 kills throughout the match, snatched five straight\npoints to push out to a 13-9 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing their fight, FHSU saw kills landed from freshman Delaney\nHumm<\/a>, senior Morgan\nWest<\/a>, and freshman Mykah\nEshbaugh<\/a>, but couldn’t crack further than three points into\nthe Lions lead. Missouri Southern would go on to take the first set, 25-20, on\na service ace by Alicia Pickett. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers opened up the second set with the first point on a service error\nfrom Missouri Southern’s Morgan Nash. However, the Lions entered a three-point\nswing to own a 3-1 lead. Fort Hays State would regain the advantage on a\nfive-point run headed up by Humm, which included two of her three service aces\nin the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second frame would move on to feature runs by both sides, until the\nTigers were able to establish control with senior Abbie\nHayes<\/a> behind the service line. FHSU would continue to enter\ntheir fifth run of the set by collecting the final three points at the hands of\nHumm and Eshbaugh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humm and freshman Emily\nEllis<\/a> lead the opening action in the third frame for FHSU,\nclaiming responsibility for six of the first 10 points. Still down by two,\njunior Tatum\nBartels’<\/a> kill provided a spark that lead to lead-changing\nmomentum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Tigers recently gaining the lead at 13-12, junior Taylor\nWhite<\/a> stepped behind the line and sent her second ace of the\nafternoon over the net, forcing the Lions to call a timeout. Eshbaugh, Humm,\nand Bartels would be the only Tiger athletes to register points for the\nremainder of the set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FHSU locked up their second consecutive set victory on Humm’s 18th kill of\nthe match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holding their first 2-1 lead since facing off against No. 14 Northwest\nMissouri State on Nov. 2, the Tigers battled to open the final frame. Neither\nthe Lions or the Tigers were able to establish much separation until the Black\nand Gold earned five straight points, headlined by three kills from freshman Morgan\nChristiansen<\/a>. This created their first lead since a 6-5 score\nearlier in the set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missouri Southern evened the game back up at 21 points each. A bad set by\nthe Lions’ Morgan Nash and an attack error by Shaylon Sharp created a small\nwindow of separation for the Tigers. Two points later, Bartels would end the\nday with her 11th kill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshman Delaney\nHumm<\/a> lead the way for the Black and Gold, landing 20 kills at\na .370 clip and notching 19 digs-two shy of her career best in both kills and\ndigs. Bartels was responsible for 11 kills on the day while Ellis and\nChristiansen trailed her with five each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three of the seniors honored on Saturday afternoon saw action in the\nmatch. West contributed three kills and a block in two sets played, while Kyle\nBrown collected her minutes in the first frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayes starred at libero in her final appearance as a Tiger and featured a\nteam-leading 21 digs, just one behind Missouri Southern’s Emalee Lowe.\nFollowing the match, the Tigers No. 43 moved into sole possession of fifth\nplace all-time for digs per set in a career with 3.51. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
