The Youngstown State volleyball team hurt itself with 30 attack errors, and Milwaukee remained unbeaten in Horizon League play with a sweep of the Penguins — 25-16, 25-12, 25-21 — on Saturday afternoon at Beeghly Center.

The Penguins were held to a -.018 attack percentage, and four Penguins players hit negative for the match. Missy Hundelt had a team-high nine kills, but she also registered 10 errors.  Alexis Egler added eight kills and seven digs, and Jackie Carlisle had seven kills and a .211 attack percentage.

Kerri Schuh and Elizabeth Egerer both had eight kills to lead Milwaukee. Schuh added 11 kills, and Rachel Neuberger had six kills without committing an error. Mackenzie Millis was part of five of Milwaukee’s 10 blocks.

Youngstown State led early in all three sets, but Milwaukee went on runs in all three sets to take sizeable leads.

YSU led 3-2 in the first set before the Panthers scored five straight points on Millis’ serve. The Guins led 3-1 in the second, but Milwaukee went on a 7-1 run to take an 8-4 advantage. Similarly in the third, Millis’ serve resulted in four straight Panthers points to make the score 8-4.

The Penguins battled in the third set, and they nullified a seven-point deficit to tie the score at 16-16 on a Hundelt kill. A Hundelt and Shannon Watson block tied the score again at 18-18, but Milwaukee scored the next four points to go up 22-18.

Youngstown State will hit the road for four matches in six days, beginning with a match Tuesday at Loyola starting at 8 p.m. Eastern.
