Box Score EPHRAIM, Utah (March 19, 2021) – Coming off a three-set victory over Southern Nevada on Thursday evening, the third-ranked Snow College women's volleyball team knew just what was in store as the same two teams went head-to-head in Scenic West Conference action today. Behind a balanced offensive attack and a gritty defensive performance, the Badgers racked up their second straight 3-0 victory over Southern Nevada, 25-16, 25-19, 25-15.
 
"We don't normally play the same team on back-to-back days," Snow College head coach Jeff Reynolds said. "Playing them last night obviously gave us a pretty good idea of what we could expect today. We made a couple adjustments and set out to improve on our performance from last night. Overall, I think we accomplished what we were after here today. I'm just really happy for our sophomores who ended up undefeated at home during their time here at Snow."
 
With today's win, the Badgers have recorded 16 straight home victories, dating back to Oct. 18, 2018. The win also marks the second straight season Snow has gone undefeated at home. Interestingly, over the past three seasons, the Badgers have won 21 out of 22 matches in the Horne Activity Center.
 
"You can't underestimate home court advantage in our conference," Reynolds said. "There are a couple places that are typically pretty tough to play for visiting teams, and fortunately for us, the AC is one of those places. We have a great fan support here, and our student section is one of the best."
 
A total of three different players hit over .300 for the Badgers on Friday, led by freshman KJ Strong who hit .600 for the match. Sophomore Bridgett Talia led the team with nine kills on 17 attempts to hit .353, and sophomore Lydia Montague was credited with a .333 hitting percentage after connecting on eight of 15 attempts. Defensively, freshman Macie Gordon threw down two solo and four assisted blocks, while Montague was credited with one solo and three assisted blocks. Talia led the team with 11 digs, while fellow sophomore Jentry Ison had seven digs.
 
Ranked fourth in the nation in total aces, the Badgers were credited with six more aces on Friday, led by freshman Macy Short who had three aces in the game. Short leads the Scenic West Conference with 35 aces this season.
 
Snow College will return to action on Wednesday, March 24 at Salt Lake Community College. Game time is set for 6 p.m. at the Lifetime Activities Center in Taylorsville, Utah.
