BAKERSFIELD, CA--- The California Baptist University volleyball team came up empty on their penultimate conference road trip as they dropped the second part of the weekend to Cal State Bakersfield in straight sets on Saturday night.
The Lancers dropped to 3-11 in conference action while the Roadrunners got a critical win to get themselves to 8-6 in the Big West, which places them fifth in the standings.
The Lancers had to scrap for everything early, as they would need two successful Trevor Johnson challenges to keep themselves in the match early. The Roadrunners led by three at most early on as the Lancers continued to battle. CBU would eventually take its first lead at 11-10 before the Roadrunners took the lead back a few points later and would not relinquish it. CBU got within one point at 22-21, but the Roadrunners scored four of the final five points to claim the set 25-22.
The Lancers had control of the second set early on, taking their largest lead of the match to that point at 9-6. Bakersfield would eventually come all the way back to take the lead with an 8-3 run before the media timeout to swing the momentum back in their favor. CBU was never able to recover as the Roadrunners finished the set on a 10-4 run to take the commanding 2-0 set lead. The Roadrunners controlled the majority of the third set as they led by as many as six points in the frame and would hold off a few Lancer runs to ultimately claim the frame 25-20 to complete the home sweep.
Emery DeJong led the offensive attack for CBU with nine kills, while Audrey Heiring came off the bench with six. Jagoda Bialek made it back-to-back matches with double-digit digs, with ten to lead the team, while Avery Barber paced the team with 18 assists.
NEXT: The Lancers will continue their Big West road trip next weekend as they head to Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State.
