EDWARDSVILLE – SIUE volleyball played its home opener in front of 487 fans on Friday night, sweeping Idaho in three sets on day one of the Cougar Classic. The set scores were 25-22, 25-19, and 25-23.

“Our fans give us so much confidence,” said outside hitter Sydney Hummert. “We all clicked tonight. From back row to front row, we executed balls and put down kills. It was a huge team win.”

The Cougars finished the contest with a .252 clip, their best attack percentage this season, while holding the Vandals to .165. SIUE concluded the match with season-high marks in kills (41), assists (38), and digs (47) during three-set contests.

“We are still in preseason mode,” said Head Coach Kendall Paulus. “We’re working through different lineups to see where we’re at. We love these tough moments. I love that we had a hard-fought game. We started slow each set but battled back in front of our home crowd. Our fans gave us an advantage, for sure.”

SIUE improved to 2-5 on the season while Idaho falls to 1-7. The Cougars improve to 15-12 all-time in home openers.
