SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Ashley McClintock (SR/Westville, Indiana) powered the Indiana University South Bend volleyball team to a 3-1 (25-17, 25-13, 20-25, 25-17) victory over Governors State University on Tuesday night.

McClintock finished the night with a team-high 18 kills and five service aces to go along with five block assists and one block solo.
In the first two sets, the Jaguars kept the score close but the Titans used huge runs to open up each set and eventually go up 2-0.

A service ace from Morgan Powell (FR/New Prarie, Indiana) brought the Titans within two points of the Jaguars but three consecutive errors from the Titans gave GSU a five point advantage. The Jaguars would go on to avoid the sweep earning a 25-20 victory.
IU South Bend was not going to let this match get to five sets as they sprinted out to a 13-3 advantage in the fourth frame. McClintock recorded her final service ace of the night to put the Titans up 23-17 and Ashli Drewes (JR/New Buffalo, Michigan) and Sarah Allison (JR/Mishawaka, Indiana) notched back-to-back kills to seal the 25-17 set victory and a 3-1 match victory.
