OGDEN – Weber State volleyball held its annual purple and white match and purple came away with three game victories of the three games played.
"Sometimes things change when you put a uniform on and people watch you play," said head coach Jeremiah Larsen. "There was a lot of good individual performances but as a whole we didn't play at the standard we've set the last week and half."
Playing for the purple team was Ashlyn Power, Andrea Hale, Maia Edwards, Rylin Roberts, Hannah Hill-DeYoung and Helena Khouri.
Playing for the white team was Sam Schiess, Dani Nay, Aubrey Saunders-Adams, Kennedy Redd, Halle Evans and Katelyn Erwin with Hannah Farr and Emily Olson substituting.
Purple came out in the first set with a 9-5 lead and later pushed it to a 17-10 lead. White made a push at the end bringing the score gap to just three points but ultimately Purple prevailed with a 25-21 win.
In the second set, Purple took a 10-1 lead early in the second set and finished it out with a 25-19 victory.
White had the control early in the third set by jumping to a 10-6 lead. Purple answered with a solid run and took a 16-14 lead. Purple persevered and came out with the clean three set sweep with a final score of 25-17 in the last set.
"My teammates are amazing," Andrea Hale said. "It's so much fun to play against them every single day. They're all competitive. We have a great feeling in the gym and everyone works really hard. It was fun to show off all of our hard work to our friends and family tonight. We can't wait to get the season rolling."
Gneiting led the night with 13 kills from 43 attacks. Redd and Hale each put up double figure kills with 10 each.
Schiess had the top hitting percentage on the night with six kills from 12 swings and no errors for an even .500.
Defensively, Hill-DeYoung, Gneiting and Saunders-Adams had three blocks each. Erwin and Khouri each had 24 digs.
Weber State starts the season this week at the Notre Dame tournament where they will take on Notre Dame, Northern Kentucky and Toledo. The Wildcats first home game is Sept. 15 against in-state rival BYU. BIg Sky action starts up for the Wildcats on the road at Southern Utah Sept. 20 and at home Sept. 27 against Idaho.
