Junior Nayo Warnell named All-Tournament
HOUSTON, Texas โย Ole Miss volleyball moved back into the win column Saturday, picking up a 3-0 victory over McNeese State (25-15, 25-23, 25-17) in the Rebels' final contest of the Rice Adidas Invitational II, held in the Tutor Fieldhouse.ย
ย
Junior Nayo Warnell was honored with All-Tournament accolades, finishing the weekend with 27 kills on a .469 hitting percentage, tallying nine blocks across 11 sets. She registered six kills and three blocks against McNeese.ย
ย
The duo of sophomore Leah Mulkey and junior Emily Stroup each posted 14 kills, helping guide the Rebels to a team hitting efficiency of .346. The squad combined for just eight attack errors. Senior libero Caroline Adams added 14 digs and junior Jordan Fate dished out 37 assists.ย
ย
The Rebels used three separate 4-0 runs to build a heavy cushion in the opening stanza, paced by Mulkey's seven slams. McNeese narrowed the gap to just two points at 15-13 before Ole Miss cruised through the rest of the set, where Mulkey ignited for five kills, including back-to-back for the final two points, giving the Rebels a 25-15 win.ย
ย
The Cowgirls replied with a 3-0 run of their own in the second set to take a two-point lead early at 8-6. After trading points and enduring 10 tied scores, the Rebels used a kill from freshman Aubrey Sultemeier, an ace from Stroup, and a McNeese attack error to regain control and take their biggest lead of the frame at 17-14.
ย
The Cowgirls battled back, using four straight points to tie the score once again at 19 all and then again at 20-20. The Rebels used yet another kill by Mulkey and a McNeese miscue to lead 22-20, and then capitalized on a skillful dig from Nayo Warnell to feed Sultemeier and put Ole Miss at set point before emerging from a total of 12 tied scores with the victory at 25-23.
ย
Ole Miss powered through the finale, securing seven of the final eight points to pick up the set 25-17 and take the match 3-0, their fourth sweep of the season.ย
