Vanderbilt Volleyball Snaps Losing Streak: The Anchor

Vanderbilt volleyball was able to get back on track Tuesday night with a 3-0 win over Western Kentucky.

The Commodores swept the Hilltoppers in three sets, but each set was its own difficulty. In the first set, Vanderbilt was able to outlast and outplay Western Kentucky until the very end, winning it 27-25. In the second set, Vanderbilt was able to find a little bit of separation late as it won a close 25-21 set.

In the third set, Vanderbilt made sure not to pass up on the opportunity to close out a game early. The Commodores won the third and final set 25-23 to put themselves back in the win column at 3-5. It was the first win Vanderbilt has had since Sep. 4 against Lipscomb.

As a team, Vanderbilt finished the game with 50 points compared to 40 from Western Kentucky. It also finished with more kills, aces and assists than the Hilltoppers. Kayla Dunlap and Kamryn Chaney led the team with nine kills apiece.

Up next, Vanderbilt will host UC Irvine at home on Friday at 7 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcasted on SECN+.
