Idaho outside hitter Ashley Christman leaps to spike the ball during its match against Seattle U. Saturday. The Vandals won 3-1 and will face La Tech at 7 p.m. Thursday in Memorial Gym.
With the win, the Vandals (12-13, 10-5 WAC) stay tied with Texas-San Antonio at No. 3 in the WAC and are just one game behind New Mexico State. Utah State remains atop the standings with a 14-2 conference record. The WAC Tournament will begin Nov. 18.
Junior Allison (Walker) Baker said the tournament is on the team’s mind, but they know the season isn’t over.
“We think about it and we really want to do well,” Baker said. “Our goal is to be playing consistently so we can play three consistent games to win it, but we have to focus on every match.”
The Vandals will continue the current home stand Thursday when they face last place La. Tech. Idaho will then conclude its home schedule Saturday with senior night against Texas-Arlington.
Senior libero Janelle Chow said the team needs to stay focused and finish the regular season with momentum.
“Every game counts, every set, every point,” Chow said. “We just have to pull through and hope for the best.”
The Vandals dominated the first two sets of the night and held Seattle U. to a negative hitting percentage in set two. Idaho cruised to a 2-0 lead.
“It felt really good, especially the first two games,” Chow said. “We passed really well and hit really well and we just played really well as a team.”
The Redhawks turned the tables on the Vandals in set three. Seattle U. took Idaho out of its system and used a 9-0 run at the start of the set to build an insurmountable lead. The Redhawks won the set 25-12.
Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said her team didn’t come out of the locker room with the same mentality.
“We have to keep playing hard and going after it and we can’t back off,” Buchanan said. “I think we did that a little bit.”
Idaho recovered in the fourth set and took a 25-19 victory to clinch the match and complete the season sweep over Seattle U.
“The girls came out with some intensity and we were able to pull it off,” Buchanan said. “Minus that game, I guess the good news is we came back after that game and we had some energy about us and played with some composure and I think that’s an important lesson to be able to do that.”
Baker led the Vandals with 19 kills and a season-high .390 hitting percentage. Baker also added 12 digs for her 17th double-double of the season. Sophomore Alyssa Schultz and junior Ashley Christman each added seven digs.
After being on the road for seven days last week, Chow said returning to Memorial Gym was a big boost for the team’s morale and energy.
“We love playing at home,” Chow said. “Road trips are always hard because you’re in a different gym with different fans, so it’s awesome playing at home.”
