UNA VOLLEYBALL DOWNS GRAMBLING, LAMAR TO IMPROVE TO 4-0

FLORENCE – The University of North Alabama volleyball team opened play at the 2022 UNA Volleyball Classic with a pair of wins over Grambling State and Lamar. The Lions knocked off Grambling (25-20, 25-10, 21-25, 27-15) and Lamar (25-22, 25-19, 25-9) to improve to 4-0 on the season.
 
Against Grambling, the Lions got another balanced attack on offense while Ella Ratzloff recorded 30 digs in the four set victory. After UNA won the first two sets, including a dominant 25-10 victory in the second frame, Grambling rallied for a 25-21 win in the third game. 
 
The fourth set was close from wire to wire. Grambling reached set point first with a 24-23 late lead. A kill by Maggie Sullivan followed by a service ace by Katie Gerig gave the Lions match point with a 25-24 lead of their own. 
 
The Tigers were able to fight off the first match point with a kill to tie the score at 25-25. A kill by Katy Floyd then put UNA ahead 26-25 and an attack error against Grambling ended the match. 
 
Floyd had 14 kills to lead UNA. Taylor Floyd and Mattrice Harris added 11 kills each. Harris added four blocks and a .579 hitting percentage while Kennedey Johnson turned in 44 assists. 
 
Defensively, Ratzloff surpassed 30 digs for the fifth time in her career and first time at North Alabama. Four other players reached double figures for UNA as the Lions totaled 99 digs for the match. Johnson (17 digs), Gerig (15 digs) and Taylor Floyd (13 digs) each picked up double-doubles while Tatum Fouche recorded a season-high 14 digs for the Lions. 
 
In the nightcap, UNA improved in each set to earn the sweep over Lamar. After opening the match by hitting .300 as a team, North Alabama held the Cardinals to a .000 showing in the second set to take a 2-0 lead.
 
In the final game, the Lions held an opponent to single digits for the second time this season. UNA led 19-9 before closing the match with six straight points.
 
Taylor Floyd led all players with 13 kills. The graduate transfer from Belmont took 28 swings and did not commit a hitting error to finish with a .464 hitting percentage. She also added a match-high 17 digs.
 
Harris had another strong showing with 11 kills and a .556 clip. Johnson added 35 assists while Ratzloff and Gerig also reached double figures with 13 and 10 digs respectively.
 
North Alabama will wrap up play at the UNA Volleyball Classic with a single match on Saturday against New Orleans. Match time is set for 1:30 p.m. at Flowers Hall.
