SUMMIT – Jones stayed unbeaten in four all-time meetings with Southwest, downing the Bears 3-1 (25-19, 22-25, 25-9, 25-14) Wednesday night at Bear Gymnasium.
The 24th-ranked Bobcats improved to 7-2 overall and dropped SMCC to 3-5.
"Southwest is a very good passing team and they were prepared against us," head coach
John Dussouy said. "We had to be a little more aggressive with our serving. We came out very sluggish after Labor Day Weekend, but I was happy with the way we responded after the second set."
Tied at 1-1 after two sets, Jones won the third set by a resounding 25-9 margin to regain control.
Jones then put it away in the fourth, hitting a match-high .561 with 17 kills in a 25-14 clinching set.
Selah Sandridge had a team-high 15 kills, followed by
Jensi Doise with 14,
Amaya Wilson with 11 and
Izzi Barnes with 10.
Olivia Guth had 23 digs and
Addyson Sides added 10.
The Bobcats are on the road Sept. 11-12 in Andalusia, Ala., as part of the Lurleen B. Wallace Crossover where they'll play four matches.
