VB Preview: Lancers Ready for Week Two at South Dakota State Tournament
8/31/2021 3:22:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
BROOKINGS – California Baptist University volleyball is geared up for the second week of competition in the 2021 season, as the Lancers will jump back on a plane to take part in the South Dakota State Tournament this weekend.
CBU is coming off its first win of the season, a sweep over Chattanooga on Saturday (25-18, 25-23, 25-18). The Lancers lost their first two matches of the season at the Georgia State Invitational to Memphis (25-19, 25-23, 25-19) and Georgia State (25-17, 25-22, 25-23), as they open the year with a 1-2 record.
The Lancers will be tested by two new teams this week in host South Dakota State and Montana.
California Baptist had several standout performers in its first week out, with its offense leading the way. The Lancers averaged 13.6 kills a set on a .212 percentage and will look to get their defense locked in after they allowed 1.9 aces in week one.
Christine Graf was named to the Georgia State All-Tournament Team after she averaged three kills a set (27 overall) on a .317 hitting percentage. Scherine Dahoue led the team in points (3.67 a set), kills (3.22 a set) and aces (two overall), while also averaging 1.44 digs a set and posting four blocks. Tesa Oaks gives the Lancers a trio of players averaging more than 2.75 kills a set after she had 2.78 (25 overall) in week one.
Defensively, CBU was led by Paige Johnstone and Cassidy Dennison. Johnstone, a junior libero, averaged 3.89 digs a set (35 overall), while Dennison was not far off with 3.11 (28).
A LOOK AT THE OPPOSITION
The Jackrabbits are 2-1 after wins over Grambling State, McNeese State and a loss to North Texas at the North Texas Invitational. Montana comes in at 2-2 after losses to Eastern Michigan, College of Charleston and a win over Kennesaw State at the COFC Invitational in week one. The Griz have won two matches in a row after a five-set win over Seattle U on Wednesday.
