The Idaho State volleyball team concluded the Nebraska-Omaha tournament with a 2-1 record after defeating Abilene Christian 3-1 on Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska.

On Friday, the Bengals beat Albany 3-1 and fell 3-0 to Nebraska-Omaha.

Junior Aubrie Steiner led the team Saturday with 12 kills and 18 digs for a .365 attacking percentage. Senior Haylie Keck had 11 kills, followed by senior Brooke Pehrson with 10 kills for a .375 attacking percentage, two blocks, and two aces. Junior Chelsea Vaughan recorded 36 assists, two blocks and one ace in the match. Sophomore Mahala Bradburn totaled 15 digs and senior Kayla Ledezma totaled 13.

Idaho State dominated the first two sets, 25-15 and 25-14. The third set was a close 25-22 loss. The Bengals fought through the fourth set to come out on top, 25-21.

"I liked the way we competed today," ISU coach Sammi Stuart said. "We learned how to stop some runs and get on runs of our own. Our goal was to be good in the play we are in and see what happened."

The Bengals (2-1) return home to host Utah Valley on Tuesday at Reed Gym. Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for kids and free for ISU students. Tickets can be purchased at the door or call 208-282-FANS for tickets and information.

Video streaming will be available on Pluto TV channel 543.
