Cymarah Gordon indispensable in Michigan win over Ohio State

Through the first 25 points of the third set of Wednesday’s match against Ohio State, it looked like things could get complicated for the Michigan volleyball team. Despite a clear momentum shift in their favor going into what would be the deciding set, the Wolverines briefly found themselves in an intense deadlock. Each team traded blows back and forth, but Michigan ultimately came out on top, largely due to junior opposite hitter Cymarah Gordon’s explosive play in critical moments. Following the first two sets of the night, the Wolverines looked in control of the match. The team was occasionally met with some resistance from the Buckeyes, but Michigan managed to take the first set, 25-18. The second set saw the Wolverines surge, putting them in a position to sweep its rival and seal a decisive victory. “In the moment, going through our heads, we’re just thinking of staying calm, playing our game, playing how we know how to play,” Gordon said.
