For the match, MSU hit a paltry .050, including a -.032 hitting percentage from its outside hitting corps. Middle blocker Megan Zanto paced in the Bobcats in the loss with 14 kills and eight blocks. Setter Kamber Kelly dished out 34 assists and added a team-high 19 digs. The Roundup native also chipped in five kills, four blocks and a service ace. On Saturday night, Montana State rebounded with a 31-29, 30-27, 30-26 victory over Northern Arizona. MSU rallied from a 29-27 deficit in game one and didn’t look back the rest of the way. For the match, the ‘Cats hit only .102 from the field, but 17 NAU service errors helped the Bobcat effort. Zanto again led the Bobcats with 11 kills and five blocks, while Kelly notched a team-high 16 digs.
