Box Score VERMILLION, S.D. -- The Omaha volleyball team extended its win streak to four straight league matches Friday night, defeating South Dakota 3-1 (25-15, 24-26, 25-22, 25-22) at the Coyote Den. The Mavericks are now 13-11 (8-3 Summit League) on the year, while the Coyotes drop to 10-13 (4-6 Summit League).

Sophomore setter Sydney O'Shaughnessy recorded her team-best 17th double-double -- and her seventh straight – by dishing out a season-high-tying 53 assists and 19 digs along with two kills, two blocks and an ace. Sophomore outside hitter Mackenzie Horkey nabbed her 10th double-double of the season, which was also her fourth straight, on 13 kills and 14 digs with two blocks.

Senior middle blocker Megan Schmale logged another well-rounded effort with 14 kills, a match-high and season-best-tying nine blocks and five digs. The Murdock, Neb., native is now third on UNO's all-time block assists list, as she owns 426 over her career and needs just 11 to eclipse the school record.

Senior rightside hitter Michaela Schimmer led Omaha with a 16-kill performance, while senior middle blocker Amy Taylor rounded out the offensive leaders with 10 kills on a .474 hitting efficiency.

Defensively, senior libero Kimberly Bailey posted 28 digs for her ninth match this season with 20 or more digs. Freshman outside hitter Gessica Gdowski joined her in double figures with a season-high 12 digs alongside three blocks, three aces and six kills.

Omaha hit .228 as a team to South Dakota's .180 and outblocked the Coyotes 9-7 en route to sweeping the season series.

USD had three players finish with double-doubles for the night: Brittany Jessen (45 assists/20 digs), Audrey Reeg (14 kills/18 digs) and Hayley Dotseth (13 kills/18 digs).

South Dakota took an early lead in the first set, but the Mavericks used back-to-back kills from Schmale and Taylor, a Coyote attack error and a Schmale ace to go up 10-9. USD saw its last lead of the game at 12-11, after which Omaha went on 6-0 run with a combined three kills by Schimmer and Taylor, a Horkey ace and two USD miscues to go up 17-12. A Gdowski kill, an ace from freshman defensive specialist Jessica Plake and a South Dakota attack error later made it 21-14, with a Dotseth kill halting the short Maverick run. It proved to be USD's final point of the set, as UNO put together a 4-0 closing drive with kills from Schmale and Horkey, a Coyote attack error and a Schmale/O'Shaughnessy block to win 25-15.

South Dakota led most of game two, taking a 24-19 lead before Omaha stormed back. The Mavericks rattled off five straight points on a USD service error, two Schimmer kills, and consecutive blocks by Schmale/Gdowski and Schimmer/Schmale, which tied the set at 24-24. South Dakota squeaked by, however, taking the set at 26-24 and knotting the match at 1-1.

Omaha held the early advantage in the third set, leading until the Coyotes tied it at 14-14. At 15-15, the Mavericks pulled ahead by three with back-to-back Horkey kills and a Gdowski ace, prompting a USD timeout. The Coyotes then locked it once more at 19-all, but UNO again posted three straight scores on two South Dakota errors and an O'Shaughnessy ace. Two plays later, Schimmer and Taylor hammered consecutive kills to make it set point at 24-20, and Taylor later capped it with another kill for a 25-22 win and a 2-1 match advantage.

In the fourth frame, Horkey led the charge with a .714 attacking clip, hitting 5-for-7 with no errors. Stuck at a 7-7 tie, Omaha broke through on a Schmale kill and a USD attack error to lead by two. The Mavericks later surged ahead to 17-12, punctuated by a Horkey kill and a pair of attacking miscues by the Coyotes. South Dakota managed to pull within one on a kill by Reeg, a Jessen ace and a UNO attack error, but a Taylor kill kept Omaha in the lead. The Coyotes made a push with a block by Reeg and Kelly Law, but the Mavericks responded promptly with another Horkey kill and a Schmale/O'Shaughnessy block to make it 24-21. After one last Coyote kill by Dotseth, Schmale put down a final kill to secure the 25-22 set win and the 3-1 match victory.

Omaha returns to action on Sunday, Nov. 1, hosting Western Illinois for the Mavericks' Baxter Arena debut at 2 p.m. The match also marks Senior Day, with pre-match festivities honoring UNO's six seniors: Kimberly Bailey, Diane Banderas, Michaela Schimmer, Megan Schmale, Amy Taylor and Kelley Wollak.
