OTTAWA, Kan. – The Ottawa University volleyball team delivered a dominant performance on Wednesday night inside Wilson Field House, sweeping Avila University 3-0 (25-15, 25-21, 25-14) in KCAC play.

The Braves (5-8, 2-1 KCAC) were efficient offensively, hitting .271 as a team while holding the Eagles (5-14, 0-3 KCAC) to just .046.

Ottawa's attack was balanced, led by Hollie Peters and Bailee Nickel, who each tallied 10 kills. Peters hit an impressive .562, while Nickel added a pair of aces and 11 total points. Campbell Stark was a force at the net with seven kills and a team-high seven blocks, while Lillian Holden chipped in six kills at a .235 clip.

Setter Makela Martinez directed the offense with 20 assists, and Madison Brauner added 16 more to help spread the attack. Libero Carson Schuman anchored the back row with a match-high 12 digs.

The Braves jumped out strong in set one, using a 10–3 run midway through to pull away for a 25-15 win. Avila kept things tighter in the second, rallying late, but Ottawa closed the door 25-21 on a kill from Samantha Stahl, who finished with five kills, three aces, and 12 digs. In the third, Ottawa's serving pressure broke the Eagles' rhythm—highlighted by three straight aces from Stahl during a 7–0 run that sealed the 25-14 clincher.
