Bushnell University

LA GRANDE, Ore. – After suffering their first defeat of the season on Friday night, the No. 1-ranked Eastern Oregon Volleyball team flexed plenty of muscle on Saturday, taking down Bushnell in three sets, 25-17, 25-15, 25-13.
 
The Mounties (24-1, 13-1 CCC) hit .330 on the night, out-blocked Bushnell 8-3, and posted 47 kills while the Beacons earned just 30 total points and hit .029.
 
Bushnell (13-8, 8-6) was led in defeat by Amyah Semau, collecting eight kills. The senior now has 913 kills in her career. She needs ten more to move into second on Bushnell's all-time list and is 18 kills away from the Beacon Career Record.
 
Soliel Sands had another three blocks for Bushnell in the loss while Ashlyn Tai earned a team-high nine digs.
 
Eastern Oregon was led by Keira Vaughn who earned 13 kills while Brooke Womack posted a double-double with 11 kills and 11 digs.
 
UP NEXT: After dropping three of their last four matches, all to NAIA Top-10 teams, the Beacons will look to rebound as they come home next weekend. They kick things off at 6:00 pm on Friday against Northwest University (6-16, 2-11).
