Box Score OMAHA, Neb. -- The Omaha volleyball team posted its seventh straight win with a 3-0 (25-20, 25-21, 25-20) sweep of Oral Roberts Tuesday night in its home finale at Baxter Arena. With the victory, the Mavericks improved to 16-11 (11-3 Summit League), while the Golden Eagles dropped to 14-13 (8-6 Summit League).

Omaha, which has already secured one of six spots for next week's Summit League Championship in Denver, Colo., sits in second place in the conference standings, half a game behind league-leading Denver entering the final weekend of regular-season play. Tonight's win marked the Mavericks' seventh sweep of the season and their third in as many matches.

Sophomore setter Sydney O'Shaughnessy notched her team-best 19th double-double of the year with 33 assists and 11 digs, adding two kills and two blocks.

Senior middle blockers Megan Schmale and Amy Taylor each had a team-leading nine kills, with Taylor hitting .500 for the night and Schmale finishing at .333. Taylor also had a pair of block assists, while Schmale had a match-high four. The performance inched her closer to UNO's all-time career block assists record of 436 held by Ruth Evans (1985-88), as Schmale now needs just two to tie Evans.

Sophomore outside hitter Mackenzie Horkey added another eight kills with 10 digs, and senior rightside hitter Mackenzie Horkey had seven kills on .375 hitting with three blocks.

Defensively, senior libero Kimberly Bailey led the way with 22 digs alongside two aces, which represented her fourth straight match with 20 or more digs and her 12th such effort this season. Freshman outside hitter Gessica Gdowski also finished in double figures with 10 digs and chipped in six kills.

Omaha hit .250 as a team to ORU's .126, outdug the Golden Eagles 66-59 and outblocked them 6-4. Oral Roberts was led by nine kills apiece from Laura Milos and Jovana Poljasevic and a double-double on 32 assists and 12 digs from Lucija Bojanjac.

Taylor shouldered the offensive load for UNO in the opening set, tallying five kills on .571 hitting. Schmale, Horkey and Schimmer added another three each, and Schmale put up three strong blocks as well. Following an early 3-3 tie, Omaha never trailed in the set, taking their largest lead at 19-12. Nearing the home stretch, a Horkey kill and an ORU attack error made it set point at 24-17 before the Golden Eagles came back for three straight scores to prompt a Maverick timeout. Taylor had the final word straight out of the break, putting down a kill to give UNO the win at 25-20.

The second set was decidedly closer to start, with six ties bringing the score to 11-11. A 3-0 run on an O'Shaughnessy kill, a Schmale/O'Shaughnessy block and a Gdowski put the Mavericks ahead, and they never lagged from there. Omaha won four straight points, using kills from Schmale and Horkey, an O'Shaughnessy/Taylor stop at the net and a Golden Eagle attacking miscue to make it 17-12. Though Oral Roberts pulled within three on back-to-back kills by Poljasevic and Karyn Chrisman at 23-20, Omaha capitalized on an ORU attack error to take the next point. Two plays later, a service error gave the Mavericks the set at 25-21 and a 2-0 match advantage.

Set three was all Omaha, as the Mavs staked a 9-2 lead before Oral Roberts took its first timeout. UNO kept at least a four-point lead for the remainder of the set, helped by a .303 team hitting efficiency and 12 kills on 12 O'Shaughnessy assists. A Taylor kill late in the game pushed it to match point at 24-18, and Horkey then put it away with a kill of her own, finishing off the sweep with a 25-20 win.

Omaha returns to action on Friday, Nov. 13, visiting Fort Wayne at 6 p.m. (CT). Links to live stats, audio and video will be available on OMavs.com.
