Mingoes back in win column in NPVA
Days after their four-game win streak was broken on Sunday, the University of The Bahamas women's volleyball team got the win over the Tech Titans in the New Providence Volleyball Association (NPVA) action on Wednesday.
UB won the match after the Tech Titans were forced to forfeit the match due to an injury that left them with less than six players in the third set. Mingoes won in three sets, 25-11; 25-16; and 25-5.
UB's captain Anjeniker Joseph said that the match went well for them.
"We connect on 90 percent of our serves and that is a plus for us," Joseph said. "We were hitting and we were passing. There was some shabbiness here and there but we tried to give everyone some playing time."
UB put their stamp early in the game taking a 7-2 lead to get going after the late start. The set got out of hand after UB went up 20-7 before taking the 25-11 first set win.
UB had a slow start after they went down 6-2 in the second set. Outside hitter Hannah McBride had three aces to give them the slight 11-10 lead. Setter Zarria Rose service pushed UB to a 21-13 lead before a service error. UB went on to hold off the Tech Titans for the 25-16 win.
It was a short third set after the Tech Titans were forced to forfeit the match after they were unable to field enough players due to an injury. UB won the set 25-5.
McBride led UB with 10 points with three of those coming from three kills.
They return to the court to play Ballers on Monday, January 26 at 7.30 p.m. at the D.W. Davis Gymnasium.
