This weekend, the UW volleyball team proved its dominance with wins over both Oregon and Oregon State, bringing its record to 15-3 and 6-2 in the Pac-10.

“It’s not magic,” coach Jim McLaughlin said. “Just because you put on a ‘W’ it’s a special thing, but you have to develop your game and improve. If we do that, the wins are going to come, and they are going to come faster.”

Friday, the UW won its fifth five-set, nail-biter of a Pac-10 match against No. 6 Oregon (25-27, 25-23, 25-14, 21-25, 15-8). Sophomore Kindra Carlson led the way for the Huskies, hitting .500 and tying her career high in kills with 22 on 36 swings. Sophomore Jenna Hagglund also had an outstanding game, tying her high in assists for the third time this season. Junior Tamari Miyashiro was outstanding as usual, pacing the UW’s defense with 29 digs.

Washington’s highlight of the match was its flawless third set. The Huskies shot for a .600 attack percentage with no errors on 18 kills to crush Oregon 25-14.

On Sunday, the volleyball team did what the UW football team failed to do on Saturday: beat Oregon State. The Huskies swept the match (25-14, 25-21, 25-13), getting their first three-set victory of the Pac-10 season. The UW’s attack was balanced by juniors Airial Salvo and Jill Collymore and sophomore Kindra Carlson; they led with 11, 10 and 10 kills, respectively. Senior Jessica Swarbrick hit an amazing .833 and notched five kills of her own. Miyashiro led the Husky defense again with 24 digs.

The second set was the closest of the match. Oregon started by taking an early 2-1 lead, but Tamari Miyashiro served the Huskies three points in a row to take a four-to-two advantage.

Washington dominated in the third set, leading the whole way and finishing with a score of 25-13. The Huskies benefitted from a number of Oregon attack and service errors and played disciplined volleyball, with just eight errors compared to Oregon State’s 22.

“That’s a huge correlation to winning,” McLaughlin said. “So we keep track of every drill we do with our errors. It takes composure to get the ball in, especially with tight situations at the end of the game, but we talk about it and we work on it ... we’re getting better at it.”
