Volleyball Finishes Off Season Sweep Of Coker

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke volleyball team hit .286 at the net, matched a season-low with 12 attack errors and registered double-digit service aces for the sixth time this season as the Braves finished off a season sweep of Coker with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-17, 25-17) sweep of the Cobras on Tuesday evening in Pembroke.
 
The result marked the 10th win in the last 11 outings for the Braves (14-6) who have now picked up back-to-back series victories over the Cobras for the first time since the 2014 and 2015 campaigns. It was the 12th-straight loss for Coker (1-12) who dropped a 3-1 affair to the Black & Gold on September 14 in Hartsville.

MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 25-17 Coker used a kill from Chelsey Blume to forge an early 8-5 advantage, but the Braves answered with a 12-2 run that helped them storm out front for good. The Cobras strung together four-straight points to pull to within 20-16, but UNCP closed out the opening set with five of the final six points, including a set-point opportunity that led to block assists by Brianna Warren and Shannon Skryd.
SET 2 I 25-17 The second set provided a similar tale as the Cobras took an early 6-3 advantage following a kill from Taylor Parker before the hosts responded with 10-straight points to swing the momentum. The Cobras used a pair of three-point scoring spurts to close the deficit back to 18-14, but the Braves raked in seven of the set's final 10 points to take control of the evening.
SET 3 I 25-17 UNCP hit a match-best .316 in the third and final set, and accentuated the team victory with 16 kills in the final stanza as well. The Braves led 10-4 after block assists from Shannon Skryd and Erin O'Donnell, and then hit cruise control the rest of the way out. The Cobras made it a 21-17 set on Taylor Parker's kill before the Black & Gold closed out the night with four-straight points, including a pair of kills by Brianna Warren.
