Lady Lions rout Pioneers to maintain their perfect record

October 14, 2022

Plainview, OK: The No. 9 Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) Lady Lions volleyball team road-tripped to face the Wayland Baptist University (WBU) Pioneers. WBU middle hitter Alexa Hinojos has been a significant stat stuffer for the Pioneers club. The Sooner Athletic Conference's second-longest victory streak in the league belongs to Alexa Hinojos and the WBU team, with a league record of (5), trailing only the unbeaten SAGU team's 20-match run. By being tall and strong at the blocks and loose and free with their ball movement, the Lady Lions would try to maintain their unbeaten streak.

 

The Lady Lions (20-0, 12-0) rolled WBU in three sets, 25-17, 25-21 and 25-21.

 

Lion Review

  • The Lady Lions scored the game's opening points as Riley Burcham got in touch with Emma Tompkins for a kill.

  • Early on, the Pioneers would stage a rally, but outside setups would allow Alexandra Bonnett and Ava Myers to slam kills with tremendous swings.

  • As they hammered floating serves over the net, Lindi Boling and Kya Bock demonstrated the intense practice they had been doing with SAGU assistant volleyball coach Nick Moore.

  • Riley Burcham would track down Karena Tipton, another Lady Lion tall tree, for a kill that sped by the WBU defense.

  • The opening set would end with a kill from Alexandra Bonnett.

  • Ava Myers led the way for SAGU with seven kills in the opening set. In the first set, the Lady Lions recorded 22 kills.

  • When scooping up, Pioneer kills for Lady Lions digs; Madison Petten would exhibit incredible awareness and instinct.

  • With a kill from Alexandra Bonnett, the second set would conclude like the first.

  • The Lady Lions would also win the third and final set, which was the most contested. 

  • In a team analysis, SAGU won the statistical conflict.

  • SAGU outperformed the Pioneer with 53 assists to their 21 and 55 kills to their 22.

 

More from Moore:

"Congrats to our kids for another big conference. We have a team that plays with heart. I'm very proud of them. Tonight Karena Tipton had a huge night. Nine kills on 16 swings. She only had one error. She also added two solo blocks and three assist blocks. Tessa led us in digs with 28. That is 9.33 digs per set. Kudos to a much improved Wayland Baptist team. They competed at a quality level," SAGU Head Volleyball Coach Hank Moore said.
