Idaho State scored a combined 33 points in the match, easily the lowest total by a Sacramento State opponent since NCAA volleyball went to rally scoring in 2001. The previous Sacramento State opponent low was 46 points in a 30-16, 30-13, 30-17 victory over Texas A&M Corpus Christi in 2002. In fact, tonight’s match under the previous scoring rules would have ended in a 15-0, 15-0, 15-1 Sacramento State victory. Idaho State recorded just two points off its serve during the entire contest. Tonight’s time of match (1:03) was also the Hornets’ quickest since the NCAA went to rally scoring.
