Harper Volleyball defeated Triton

D3 Harper Volleyball defeated D2 Triton 25-7, 25-8, 25-18
Tuesday, Aug 29, 6:00 p.m. at Harper College, Palatine, IL: Harper Volleyball's home opener was well supported by not only friends and family, but also by the Harper College Men's sports teams including basketball, baseball and soccer. In a LOUD gym, Harper Volleyball prevailed 25-7, 25-8, 25-18.

In the first set, Harper Volleyball jumped out to a 7-1 lead, then 11-3 and 16-5 when Triton called a timeout. Harper Volleyball went on to win 25-7. Taylor Knuth had 5 kills; Stacy Maimur had 3 kills on 5 attacks. Abby Major was 11-11 serving with an ace. Kaylee Obrzut was 5-5 serving with an ace. Setter Eden Suh had 7 digs, and libero Obrzut had 7 digs.

In the second set, Harper Volleyball started out slower, with a tie at 3-3, but then exploded for a 14-6 lead.  At 17-7, Triton called a timeout. Harper won 25-8. Knuth had an astounding 11 kills… including her last 7 kills in a row. Setter Suh had 18 assists… Coach Bob Vilsoet noted, "Can't get too many more of those in a 25-point set." Maimur added 2 kills on 2 swings. Asia Williams was 7-7 serving. Knuth led Harper with 5 digs.

In the last set, Harper jumped out to a 5-1 lead, again, then 10-3, 14-9 and 16-11, on the way to a 25-18 win. Knuth unloaded 7 more kills on 10 attacks, for a match-high 23 kills – which is a NEW Harper College all-time record for kills in a 3-set match!! All-American Ellie Burzlaff had the previous record of 21 kills in a 3-set match against Illinois Central back on October 7, 2017. The Harper College record for kills for any match is just 28. Maimur had 4 kills on 4 attacks for an astounding 9 kills on 11 attacks for the match. Seems like that is record-like as well. Knuth was ALSO 8-9 serving with 4 aces. Williams was 6-7 serving with an ace.


Next up – Harper travels to Toledo, Ohio, to play Division II teams – Oakland and Cuyahoga on Friday, September 1, and Division III teams Delta and #1 ranked Owens on Saturday.
