PELLA, Iowa (September 22, 2021) - The Buena Vista University volleyball team returned to American Rivers Conference action tonight at Central College but it was the Dutch with a strong offensive showing as they swept the Beavers 3-0 (25-14, 25-17, 25-18).

Central had just seven more total kills in the match than BVU, but the Beavers couldn't overcome 19 attack errors while the Dutch had only seven.

Senior Sydney McLaren had a team-high nine kills with sophomore Rachel Brockney right behind with six.  McLaren was strong yet again on the defensive side posting 14 digs and just missing out on her fifth straight double-double.  Senior Jade Hays chalked up a team-leading 18 digs on the night as Kaylee Nosbisch turned in 11.

Both teams were nearly dead even during set one in kills but Central did not have a single attack error in the frame while the Beavers had seven.  The Dutch (6-6, 1-0 A-R-C) scored the first six points of the match and never looked back.

Buena Vista falls to 6-6 overall (0-2 A-R-C).  The team is off until traveling to Nebraska Wesleyan next Wednesday (September 29) for a 7:30 p.m. match.
