Ohio Wesleyan 3, Oberlin 0

Sophomore outside hitter Natalie Buravlov (Aurora, Colo./Grandview) led a balanced Ohio Wesleyan offense as the Bishops swept Oberlin in a North Coast Athletic Conference match on Saturday in Oberlin.

The Bishops defeated the Yeowomen by scores of 25-22, 25-18, 25-18 to remain unbeaten in conference play.

Leading, 11-10, in the first set, Ohio Wesleyan scored 6 straight points to take charge, with Buravlov collecting a solo block and a kill during that run.  Oberlin stayed within striking distance and narrowed the deficit to 24-22 on a Josie Macdonald service ace, but a service error ended the set and gave the Bishops the lead in the match.

The Bishops took the lead with a 4-0 run in the second set, breaking an 8-8 tie on a Buravlov kill and getting a pair of kills from sophomore right-side hitter Grace Cummings (Columbus/Worthington Kilbourne).  A 6-1 burst that featured a kill from junior outside hitter Kaitlyn Peters (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead) and aces by junior defensive specialist Neah White (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) and Cummings extended the margin to 19-13, and Cummings closed out the set with a kill.

Oberlin led, 12-10, in the third set when back-to-back aces by Cummings highlighted a 6-0 Ohio Wesleyan run that put the Bishops ahead to stay.  A Buravlov kill, an ace from freshman setter Lily Bechina (Chicago, Ill./Jones College Prep), and a kill from sophomore middle blocker Ava Kutilek (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier) helped Ohio Wesleyan finish off the set and the match.

Buravlov finished with 7 kills, while Peters, sophomore middle blocker Claire Solberg (Huron), and Cummings added 6 apiece.  Bechina collected 25 assists.  Solberg led the way with 5 blocks, and White had 9 digs.
