Box Score OMAHA, Neb. -- The Omaha volleyball team made a valiant comeback to go five sets but came up just short Wednesday night, falling 3-2 (22-25, 16-25, 25-22, 28-26, 10-15) to UC Davis at Sapp Fieldhouse. The Mavericks are now 2-5 on the season, while the Aggies improve to 3-4.

Senior middle blocker Megan Schmale had 15 kills on .424 hitting with a match-leading seven blocks, and senior rightside hitter Michaela Schimmer added 10 kills for the night.

Omaha faced a 2-0 deficit after UC Davis won the first two sets, 25-22 and 25-16. In set three, the Mavericks stormed back to hit .372 as a team, helped by seven kills from Wollak, who finished with a .500 third-game attack percentage. UNO never trailed in the set, going up 8-3 to prompt a UCD timeout before another Wollak kill put the Mavs ahead by six. Omaha took its largest lead at 19-12 after two Wollak kills and another from sophomore outside hitter Mackenzie Horkey. Consecutive kills by Squyres later pulled the Aggies within two at 24-22, but Schmale finished it off with a kill of her own for a set final of 25-22.

Schmale was Omaha's preferred target in the fourth game, tallying seven kills and hitting .429. Her two stops at the net also helped UNO outblock UCD 5-2 in the set. The Aggies held the lead until Omaha finally tied it at 18-18 on a block from Schimmer and senior middle blocker Amy Taylor, forcing a timeout. The game then stalled four more times, pushing it to 26-26. But an Aggie service error and a solo block from Taylor was all Omaha needed to break free, earning the 28-26 win and tying the match at two games apiece.
