NORMAN, Okla. – The University of Oklahoma volleyball team won a three-set match over the University of Colorado Wednesday night. The Sooners (14-7, 7-5 Big 12) produced a .343 hitting percentage to down the Buffaloes (6-15, 1-11 Big 12) in the minimum sets required (-20, -12, -16).

“I thought we played solid through all three sets,” said Oklahoma head coach Santiago Restrepo. “We were able to get a variety of players in the match tonight and that was good to see. We were prepared for this match and ready to extend our hot streak as we work towards an NCAA Tournament berth.”

Sophomore Suzy Boulavsky registered 10 kills, hitting .320 to lead OU. Boulavsky added six digs and one block assist. Junior Francie Ekwerekwu connected on six of her seven attempts to hit .857 on the night. Ekwerekwu had two block assists. 

Junior Sarah Freudenrich totaled seven kills, hitting .316 with four total blocks, including one block solo. Senior Bridget Laplante had 10 digs and four kills. Sophomore Caitlin Higgins also added 10 digs and recorded six kills.

Sophomore Brianne Barker tallied her 16th double-double of the season with 31 assists and a match-high 11 digs. Barker hit .500 on the night, connecting on three of her six attack attempts. Freshman Morgan Reynolds and senior Jackie Fotu each also added three kills. Freshman Maria Fernanda had a season-high three service aces and contributed nine digs on the night.

As a team, Oklahoma hit .343, the second highest of the season for the Sooners. OU held Colorado to a .090 clip. Both teams struggled at the service line, committing a total of 17 service errors. The Sooners had eight and just seven attack errors, while the Buffs recorded nine service errors and 20 attack errors. The Sooners out-blocked Colorado, 7-2.
