Blue Demons hit .485 in the first set to take second road win of the weekend

WASHINGTON, D.C. - DePaul volleyball defeated Georgetown on the road, 3-1 (25-19, 23-25, 25-16, 27-25), Saturday evening.

DePaul (15-12, 8-8 BIG EAST) was led by Jill Pressly on offense. Pressly totaled 19 kills, alongside six digs, three service aces and a block.

Junior Aly Kindelberger recorded 11 kills on .625 hitting percentage, her season-high and the second-best hitting percentage of her career. Kindelberger added four blocks throughout the evening.

Audrey Klemp and Bailey Nelson totaled nine and eight kills, respectively. Klemp had two blocks, while Nelson had three blocks during the match. The Blue Demons recorded a hitting percentage of .485 in the first set on 19 kills.

Maggie Jones led the team in assists, recording 25 total with Ashley Cudiamat chipping in 18 assists throughout play. Cudiamat added 10 digs, recording her 11th career double-double and the fifth of the season.

Senior libero Rachel Krasowski led the team in digs, earning 17 total and averaging 4.25 per set.

"One those matches that nothing came consistently but we found a way to scrap and claw to the redzone every time and when it mattered most, we put the match in the hands of our hottest attacker and scored," said head coach Marie Zide. "Georgetown's Wilhite made it super hard to get out of that gym alive. We were great on their lefts and middles. This team is definitely worth the price of admission."

Georgetown (13-15, 4-12 BIG EAST) was led by Peyton Wilhite with 15 kills.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
SET ONE: A quick 8-1 run for the Blue Demons, highlighted with kills from four different players and the first ace of the match, forced a Georgetown timeout.

SET TWO: An early run by the Hoyas gave the hosts an 8-3 lead. Kills from Kindelberger and Pressly, as well as a block from Klemp and Oxley put the Blue Demons within one, 8-9. Georgetown used another 6-0 run to take a seven point lead before DePaul took a 7-2 run to get within one, 21-22. The Blue Demons looked to tie the match, but Georgetown leveled the match with a block.

SET THREE: Both sides went back-and-forth early on in the set, but the Blue Demons began to pull away with a 6-1 run to take a 12-8 lead. The Hoyas got within three, but DePaul continued to extend their lead with kills from Pressly. The Blue Demons took the set win with three straight kills from Nelson and Kindelberger.

SET FOUR: Georgetown took a 9-6 lead, but DePaul cut it down to one behind a kill from Pressly. Both sides traded points, while an error from the Hoyas and a solo block from Kindelberger tied the match at 20-all. Two consecutive kills from Kindelberger put the Blue Demons up by two.
