KU volleyball team
dumps UMBC
Morgantown, W.V. -- Kansas University's volleyball team beat Maryland-Baltimore County 15-9, 15-8, 15-7 on Friday at the West Virginia Tournament.
Senior outside hitter Mary Beth Albrecht led KU with 12 kills to go with eight digs, while sophomore setter Molly LaMere paced the Jayhawks with 29 assists and 13 digs.
"I thought we passed and served well, which was the key," KU coach Ray Bechard said. "It wasn't our best volleyball, but it was a good win against a team which was in the NCAA Tournament one year ago."
The Jayhawks, 2-0, continue play in the West Virginia Tournament today. KU will meet Oakland University at 10 a.m. and West Virginia at 6:00 p.m.
