OGDEN - Weber State volleyball took on Northern Colorado Thursday night and fell in four sets to the Bears.
What head coach Jeremiah Larsen said: "UNC showed why they are the elite team in our league. They played a more consistent game and we struggled at finding the consistency to win tonight."
How it happened: Northern Colorado jumped out to a 10-5 lead over Weber State in the first set. Weber State hung close to UNC but couldn't ever take the lead and fell 25-21 in the first set.
The Wildcats were tied 7-7 with the Bears early in the set but eventually lost the lead and trailed 17-13. Northern Colorado had a 22-16 lead over the Wildcats when WSU scored three consecutive points to narrow the deficit coming into the final points. WSU was able to score one more point before UNC took the second set 25-20.
Weber State trailed 9-6 in the third set but were able to tie it up at 10-10. WSU then took a 12-10 lead. Weber State didn't give Northern Colorado a chance to take the lead back and pushed for a 25-20 third set win.
The Wildcats didn't gain much traction after their third set victory as Northern Colorado took control of the momentum and propelled to a 25-15 fourth set win over the Wildcats.
Killing It: Rylin Roberts led the Wildcat offensive efforts with 14 kills from 26 attacks with only one error for an impressive .500 hitting percentage on the nine. WSU had 48 total kill from 134 attacks with 23 errors for a .187 hitting percentage.
Weber State's career assist leader, Ashlyn Power came away with 43 assists on the night.
Digging it: Helena Khouri led WSU in digs with 13. Roberts, Power and Megan Gneiting all added nine digs to WSU's efforts. In total the Wildcats had 54 digs.
Notes to know: WSU is now 18-7 overall on the season and 9-5 in Big Sky play.
Next Up: The Wildcats will stay on the road and travel to Sac State Nov. 14 and Portland State Nov. 16.
