"I thought the girls played really well tonight, especially from midway through the second set through the rest of the match," Blinn head coach Terry Gamble said. "Taylor Glendening was really good in the middle both with her transition and blocking, and I thought Darby Nash had a really good game. "I'm really proud of the girls and how they played."

Glendening, a freshman hitter/blocker, had eight kills, a solo block, and six block assists, while Nash, a freshman setter, had 33 assists.

Leading Blinn's offense was sophomore hitter Kierslynn Wright, whose 18 kills lifted her NJCAA Division I-leading total to 467. 

Defensively, sophomore libero Ellie Turner recorded 17 digs while Wright had 12 and freshman libero Emily Hardee tallied nine. Turner has 717 digs this fall, a total that also leads NJCAA Division I.

Freshmen Don'Yah Cosie and Zuzia Ruthad four block assists apiece.

The Buccaneers return home for a region clash against Lee College at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the Kruse Center in Brenham, Texas.

Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 42 NJCAA national championships since 1987.
