Freshman Miana Wallace had a career night, but the Kentucky State University volleyball team fell 3-1 (26-24, 18-25, 25-20, 25-14) in non-conference action to Asbury in Bell Gymnasium Monday.

Wallace (Lees Summitt, Mo.) recorded the first double-digit kill match of her career with 11 kills on 21 attempts with just two errors for a hitting percentage of .429. She added four block assists and two digs in the match.

Kentucky State shook off a slow start in the opening set and were on the verge of a victory, leading 24-21. However, the Eagles tallied five straight to steal the first set.

The Thorobreds seemingly shook off the disappointment of the loss, and rebounded for the 25-18 victory. The third set was much like the first as Kentucky State held a late 20-18 lead. However, just like the opening set Asbury ended the set with a run – this time it was a 7-0 spurt that ended the set.

Asbury scored 13 of the last 17 points to seal the fourth set, and the match.

Freshman Aniah Hollowell (Cincinnati, Ohio) added eight kills on 18 attempts with just three errors, while senior Tapanga Moten (New Orleans, La.) and freshman Brianna Etienne (Houston, Texas) added seven kills apiece.

With her first kill of the match, junior Robin Poole (Katy, Texas) recorded her 1,000th kill of her career. She added 10 digs on the match.

Junior Sasha Bills (Mesa, Ariz.) was the most effective setter in KSU's two-setter system with 22 of the team's 40 kills. No other Thorobred had double figures. Junior Oyuky Benitez (Laveen, Ariz.) led the team with 22 digs.

Kentucky State (19-10 overall) returns to action 7 p.m. Thursday with a road non-conference match with Pikeville.
