Owls Volleyball caps regular season with a road win at Tougaloo

Box Score TOUGALOO, Miss. – The Mississippi University for Women volleyball team capped its regular season off with a 3-0 blanking of Tougaloo College at the Owens Health and Wellness Center. The Owls (8-15) caged the Bulldogs (1-14) by set scores of 25-19, 25-12, 26-24.
 
The W – ranked No. 5 in the latest United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) poll – will now wait until Wednesday's announcement of the USCAA championship bids to see if their 2022 season is extended. The USCAA tournament takes four at-large teams to its post-season event in Virginia Beach, Va.
 
The win also gives MUW the season sweep over the Bulldogs. The Owls topped Tougaloo, 3-1, on October 4 in Columbus.
 
While The W out-hit the Bulldogs .174 to .119 for the match, the real difference came on serves. MUW collected nine aces and had a .962 serve-receiving average as a team. Sydney Horel was a perfect 12-for-12 in receiving attempts, while libero (and Caledonia native) Maddy Suggs made just one error in 22 receptions for a .957 average.
 
Up front, the Owls attack was led by a match-high 11 kills from Amonie Silas. Silas was efficient, as well, with a .364 attack average for the night.
 
Llayne Skinner and Maggie Griggs added seven and six kills, respectively. Each also had a pair of aces.
 
Suggs also had two aces in the match. Karmen McCrory led MUW with a trio of winning serves.
