Drury Volleyball Finishes Regular Season With Road Win Over UIndy

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Drury volleyball rebounded from a slow start to sweep the final three sets from Indianapolis (15-25, 25-19, 25-23, 25-19) and secure its second-straight road victory Saturday afternoon at Ruth Lilly Fitness Center.

After Indianapolis (19-10, 9-4 GLVC) hit a blistering .471 en route to claiming a decisive 25-15 opening-set victory, the Panthers (17-12, 7-6 GLVC) bounced back in a big way. DU evened the match with a 25-19 win in the second set, before pulling out a nip-and-tuck 25-23 decision in the third and another 25-19 victory in the fourth.

Mailie Chretien paced the DU attack with 13 kills and 15 digs to register her 11th double-double of the season. Abby Renshaw turned in another big effort with 10 kills and six blocks, while Skylar Hilton recorded nine kills, eight blocks and a .368 hitting percentage.

Drury completed its GLVC slate tied with Truman State for the No. 6 spot in the standings with matching 7-6 league marks.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • UIndy faced few obstacles in the opening set, using a 6-0 scoring run to counter five unanswered Drury points and take control of the set.
  • The Greyhounds built an 18-12 lead and won 12 of the final 15 points of the set to notch the 25-15 win.
  • Drury rode a 3-0 spurt to gain the lead for good in a tight second stanza, as the Panther defense limited the Greyhounds to .091 hitting -- their lowest percentage of the day.
  • The Panthers ultimately used an 11-3 run to establish an eight-point edge en route to the 25-19 decision.
  • DU produced another mini run (3-0) to gain the upper hand in the third, as Ella Rademaker logged four of her 10 kills in the set.
  • Renshaw and Phoebe Riddle recorded three blocks apiece in the third, as the Panthers withstood a late rally by the Greyhounds.
  • UIndy closed to within one point on two occasions down the stretch in the third, but a Rademaker kill on set point closed out the 25-23 DU win.
  • In the fourth, Drury overcame an early two-point UIndy lead by winning six straight points to take a 10-4 advantage.
  • Chretien tallied five kills, while Riddle came up with three more blocks to help ice the victory. 

NOTABLES

  • Drury completed the 2025 GLVC season with a 4-1 road mark, as well as its first winning league slate since going 10-8 in 2021.
  • Rademaker recorded her 12th-straight double-digit kill total dating back to Oct. 17, finishing with 10 kills to run her season total to a team-best 391.
  • After recording a career-best 36 digs in Friday's win at Lewis, Payton Mitchell finished with 17 digs Saturday, giving the senior 107 combined digs in Drury's last four matches.
  • Hilton recorded eight blocks, running her freshman season total to 113.
  • Jacy Bray led the Panthers with 24 assists.
  • Lauren Tyler hiked her career assist total to 2,477, which ranks eighth on the Panthers' all-time list.
