Blue Knights Outlast Arrows in 3-2 Thriller

URBANA, Ohio – The Urbana women's volleyball team weathered a furious comeback attempt by visiting Ursuline and came out on top 3-2 in five sets in the home opener at Grimes Center. Tuesday's match was the first UU contest to go past three sets this season as head coach Tim Balice earned his first home victory.

The Blue Knights (2-3) fought hard out of the gate to come from behind and upend the Arrows 27-25 in the first set.

In the second set, the outcome looked bleak again for UU as Ursuline (3-2) jumped out to a quick 7-1 advantage.

The Blue and Grey finally showed up though, and sparked a 17-4 run to force an Ursuline timeout with the score 18-11. Ursuline brought it back to within one point at 23-22, but UU held on 25-22 to go up 2-0.

The next three sets were very tightly contested and contained multiple lead changes throughout.

With Ursuline leading 16-15 in the third set, the two teams began trading points back and forth until the Arrows rattled off a quick run to clinch the set 25-21.

Set number four provided even more entertainment. UU went up 16-12, forcing an Arrows timeout. Then Ursuline came out swinging after the break and tied it at 19-19. UU went up 21-20, but that was the last lead it would hold as the visitors squeaked out a 25-23 win.

Finally, the Blue Knights came out firing on all cylinders in the fifth and final set, proving too much for Ursuline in a 15-9 match decision.

Urbana returns to the court Wednesday night, traveling to Ohio Christian for a 6 p.m. match.
