ON EARLY LEAD AGAINST DRAKE
Box Score
DES MOINES, Iowa – Indiana State got off

55 kills and a .150 attack percentage, while Drake hit .247 with
64 kills.
ISU did tally 11 blocks including career high totals for Christy
Trame and Sarah Smith. Trame finished with an ISU season-high nine
blocks, while Smith posted eight. Trame also led the Sycamore offense
with 15 kills. Fellow freshman Alisha Polite had an all-around great
match as she posted a career-high 14 kills with a .333 attack percentage,
21 assists, three service aces and seven digs. Katie Freeman had
also 11 kills with only one error as she hit .357 in the match.
Drake improves to 3-19 overall and 2-8 in the MVC, while ISU drops
to 0-21 on the year. The Sycamores travel to Omaha, Neb. to face
Creighton on Saturday night in another MVC contest.
