Home Sweet Home.
The Bronco volleyball team, which played its first 14 matches on the road, defeated Weber State 25-17, 25-22, 25-12 in its home opener at Bronco Gym last night. Amanda Remy entered the Bronco record book with a team-high 17 digs to move into 10th-place all-time in career digs with 1,022. Elizabeth Griffin and Breann Nesselhuf had 10 kills apiece.
"It was nice to play at home finally after a long road swing," said head coach Shawn Garus. "I thought we were a little nervous and tight at first in front of the home crowd, but we played through it and got the win at home. We hit the ball well with Bree (Nesselhuf), Brittany (Reardon) and Liz (Harden) all hitting above .470. It was a nice way to bounce back heading into the weekend against TCU and New Mexico."
Dama Cox paced the Wildcats with eight kills while Bethany Wray had nine.
The Broncos host TCU (14-1, 1-0 in conference) Thursday night at 7 and New Mexico (7-4,0-1) Saturday night at 7 in Bronco Gym.
