WICHITA - Fugate Gymnasium hosted its final home volleyball match on Tuesday night as No. 21 ranked Central Oklahoma visited Wichita. The Bronchos have won 3 out of their last 4 coming into the matchup and looked to win the season series as they defeated Newman earlier in the year in straight sets in a match that UCO needed 31 points in the third set to come away with a victory.
 
Newman fell in 3 tonight as UCO won the sets 18-25, 20-25, and 26-24.  The Bronchos outhit the Jets .219 to .136 on the night.
 
Freshman Natalie Meyer led Newman with 9 kills while Ozioma Ajekwu finished the night with 6 blocks with Mckinzie Weaver and Natalie Meyer ended the match with 4 kills each.
 
It seemed as if Newman was going to take the third set from UCO, as The Broncos couldn't find an answer for the Newman attack as the Jets got out to a 5-1 lead, getting it to as high as 19-13 before a UCO timeout stopped the momentum as a ball handling error and an attack error by Newman helped give Central Oklahoma a 4-0 run to get right back into the set.
 
The Jets had a chance to close out the set being up 24-23 but UCO's Sydney Huck scored 2 out of the next 3 points and Lacy Maegan topped it off with a kill of her own to earn the sweep.
 
Both matches this season needed a little extra in the 3rd set.
 
The Jets will close out their 2022 season this Friday when they visit nationally ranked Northwest Missouri State for a matchup set for 6 pm.
