Aggies defeat Sacred Heart
The Utah State volleyball team made it four in a row Saturday, as the Aggies defeated Sacred Heart in four sets for their second win of the Aztec Invitational.
The Aggies improved to 5-1 overall this season behind a team-high 13 kills by freshman Candace Richins. Sophomore Rachel Orr added 12 for USU, while three other players finished with at least seven kills apiece.
After taking the first set, USU fought off five set points in the second before falling 28-26, but the Aggies rebounded to win the next two by a score of 25-19 and 25-21.
Sacred Heart was led by Alissa Young with 14 kills, but it wasn’t enough to pull off the comeback.
Utah State will close out the tournament against Host San Diego State at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
