THE STORYLINE: 
· Kennesaw State swept Clemson on the road in dominant fashion behind 12 kills from Anaiah Boyer and nine kills from Maddie Jones. This is the first ACC road win ever for Kennesaw State.

HOW IT HAPPENED: 
The first set was close throughout until late in the set when the Owls used a 4-0 run behind two Boyer kills to take the first set 25-21.
 
Kennesaw State turned their game up a couple of notches in the second set. KSU stretched out its lead to 16-8 using a 7-1 run fueled by Katarina Morton and Karlee Groover serving as well as Jones killing the ball. Clemson used a timeout and went on a small run, but didn't get closer than five points the rest of the way as the Owls went up 2-0 in the match.
 
Clemson came out of the locker room looking to get back in the match and head coach Keith Schunzel used an early timeout trailing 7-6. The rest of the way, Kennesaw State went on a 19-4 run to clinch the set and match 25-11 for the sweep.
 
SCHUNZEL'S QUOTE:
"I'm really proud of our team tonight. We struggled a little early and didn't play very clean, but midway through the first we started playing better volleyball and really dominated the match from there. As our team has matured over the years, we've come to expect to win matches like this, so it's really nice to come on the road and get a win."
