The Bluffton University volleyball team saw its 2021 season come to an end in a sweep by Earlham College on Saturday, Oct. 30. The Quakers locked up the number 1 seed for the Heartland Conference Tourney with the victory, improving to 19-5 overall and 8-1 in the conference. Bluffton finishes 10-18 with a 2-7 mark in the HCAC.
Following a 25-6 whipping in the lidlifter, Bluffton pushed the Quakers in a 25-23 setback in set two. Earlham left no doubt with a 25-14 victory for the sweep on Senior Day from Richmond, Ind.
Sophomore Alysha Like (McComb) had one of her finest matches this season, dropping the hammer eight times against just one error for a .368 hitting percentage. She also added two solo blocks. Senior Cassidy Posey (Paulding) slammed home seven winners in her final outing as a Beaver. Maddie White (Ashland) handed out 16 assists against the Quakers.
Brooke Kleman (Glandorf/Ottawa-Glandorf) saw her decorated career at Bluffton come to an end with a team-high 15 digs for the visitors.
