Volleyball Falls At Georgia College In Straight Sets

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The UNC Pembroke volleyball team logged seven blocks and got a team-best 12 kills from Kaila Crowder, but red-hot Georgia College hit better than .250 on the night on the way to a straight-sets (25-18, 25-12, 25-19) victory over the Braves on Friday evening in the Centennial Center.
 
The setback marked the third loss in the last four outings for the Braves (9-18, 0-9 PBC) who opened up a three-match road trip with Friday's contest as well. Georgia College (13-9, 5-4) improved to 4-2 in Milledgeville, Ga., this season with the fourth win in its last five matches.

MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 18-25 Georgia College hit .312 and recorded a trio of service aces on the way to winning the opening set of the night. UNCP took an early 2-1 lead thanks to a Shannon Skryd kill, but the Bobcats scored six of the next seven points to take a lead they would not relinquish. The Braves chopped into their deficit and made it a 2-point game, 14-12, on a service ace from Bailee Jones, but the Bobcats caught fire and eventually closed out the set with a 6-2 run.
SET 2 I 12-25 The hosts hit north of .250 in the second set, and utilized 10 hitting errors (one service error) by the Black & Gold to fuel the win in the second set. Georgia College led 7-2 following a service ace by Nicole Cohen and then put together a 10-3 run to pad the advantage. UNCP strung together three-straight points late in the set, but the Bobcats finished it off on a kill by Libby Bochniak, as well as an attack error from the visitors.
SET 3 I 19-25 The Braves went point-for-point with the hosts for a good portion of the third set, but Georgia College pulled away for good. UNCP pulled to within three points, 19-16, following blocks by Ashley Caesar and Shannon Skryd, but the Bobcats closed out the set with a 6-3 run to clinch the match.
