Volleyball Comes Out Firing, Holds Off Georgia College

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke volleyball team cruised to wins in the first two sets, but had to hold off a late charge from Georgia College to register a 3-1 win over the Bobcats in the season opener for both teams on Monday at Lumbee Guaranty Bank Court.
 
The result marked the first official competition for the Braves (1-0, 1-0 PBC) in 473 days, and helped give the program its first win in a season-opening contest since the 2012 campaign. It was the eighth-straight loss for the Bobcats (0-1, 0-1) dating back to last season.

MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 25-11 A kill by Erin O'Donnell sparked the hosts on a 7-2 scoring run, and block assists from Brianna Warren and April Tankersley a short time later put the lid on a 9-0 run that padded UNCP's lead out to 22-7. The Bobcats fought off three-straight set points, but another kill from O'Donnell closed it out.
SET 2 I 25-16 The sides split the first 16 points, but the Braves scored the next five points to take the lead for good. The visitors closed to within four points, 17-13, on a service error from UNCP, but the Braves capitalized late on a trio of hitting errors before closing out a 25-16 victory with block assists from Shannon Skryd and Brianna Warren.
SET 3 I 20-25 UNCP went out in front, 12-11, after an attack error by the visitors, but the Bobcats answered back with three-straight points to take the lead for good. The Black & Gold made it a two-point affair, 20-18, late on a kill from Brianna Warren, but the visitors tacked up five of the next seven points to post a 25-20 triumph.
SET 3 I 25-23 Georgia College led 21-17 following a kill from Libby Bochniak, but the Black & Gold rallied to score five of the next six points and eventually tied it at 22 apiece on an attack error by the visitors.
