INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. - Senior Lauren Duquette notched 24 digs, junior Adrienne Leone had 16 kills en route to a .381 hitting percentage, and sophomore Katy Wilson tallied 23 assists and 16 digs, but it was not enough to hold off the IUPUI Jaguars, who defeated the Oakland University volleyball team in four sets (27-25, 25-22, 22-25, 25-17) after OU came back from a 2-0 deficit to take a third set victory.
"I was pleased with the first three sets," said head coach Rob Beam. "We competed well and offensively, we were sharp."
The Golden Grizzlies fell into a hole early, falling behind 2-0 after two very close sets of 27-25 and 25-22, but rallied in the third set to win 25-25. But the game would end in the fourth set with a 25-17 finish by the Jaguars.
Duquette paced OU with her 24 digs, which led all players from both teams.
"I was pleased with her performance. She had a great match; she played physically and was key for us. She kept the long rallies going and she was accurate."
Senior Amy Golem also had a solid performance for the Golden Grizzlies, contributing 10 kills, her fifth double-digit kill effort in five games.
Oakland looks to get back in the win column with a trip to Western Illinois University for their first meeting of the season on Saturday, Oct. 18. The match is set for a 7 p.m. start time.
