Francis Marion Holds Off Volleyball

PEMBROKE – Visiting Francis Marion got double-digit kill totals from four different players and used a pair of late-set rallies to overcome 23 hitting errors and best the UNC Pembroke volleyball team, 3-1, on Tuesday evening at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court.
 
It was the third-straight loss for the Braves (13-18, 1-8 PBC) who fell to 6-5 on their home court this season as well. The result snapped a two-match skid for the Patriots (16-12, 3-6) who also finished off a season sweep of the Black & Gold as well.

MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 23-25 The Patriots led by as many as four points, 10-6, after a ball-handling error by the hosts, but UNCP came storming back and eventually used four-straight points to take a 21-20 lead. Francis Marion tacked up four of the next five points, however, to grab a set point opportunity with a 24-22 advantage, and finished it out on Alyssa Hansen's kill.
SET 2 I 19-25 Francis Marion hit better than .400 at the net in the second set and used a 6-2 run midstream to go up by a pair of sets in the matchup. UNCP chopped into an early deficit and pulled to within three points, 11-8, on a kill from Elly Hicks, but the Patriots raked in six of the next eight points to pull away for good. The Braves pulled to within four points, 22-18, on an attack error by the visitors, but the Patriots tallied three of the next four points to win the set.
SET 3 I 25-18 The Braves took advantage of 10 hitting errors by the visitors to get on the board with a big victory in the third set. Francis Marion forged an early 5-3 advantage, but the Black & Gold put together an 11-4 run to take the lead for good. UNCP led by as many as eight points, 21-13, following a Shannon Skryd kill, and scored its last four points via blocks.
SET 4 I 22-25 A back-and-forth affair early on, Francis Marion strung together a 6-2 run to forge a 13-8 advantage, only to have the Braves answer with a 6-1 run that knotted things up at 14 apiece. Raven Oates evened things up at 19 apiece on an impressive kill, but the Patriots would eventually take three of the final four points to clinch the match.
