Volleyball Falls To Flagler In PBC Tournament Semifinals

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The UNC Pembroke volleyball team threw everything on the table in its battle with Peach Belt Conference regular season champion and top-seeded Flagler, but the Saints used late rallies in both the second and third sets to finish off a 3-0 (20-25, 22-25, 22-25) sweep of the short-handed Braves in the semifinal round of the PBC Tournament on Wednesday evening.
 
The setback put the wraps on an abbreviated, but memorable, season for the Black & Gold (7-8) who matched its best win total in league play in more than two decades with Saturday's victory at Young Harris. The Saints (16-3) advance to Saturday's championship game where they will take on second-seeded Augusta.

MATCH REPLAY
SET 1 I 20-25 Flagler hit .361 and committed just five errors in the opening set to get the night started with a 25-20 triumph in the opening set. The Braves trailed by one point, 9-8, following a kill from Shannon Skryd, but the Saints put together a 6-1 run to pull away for good. The visitors fought off an initial set point by the hosts, but Lindsay Glynn's kill finished it out.
SET 2 I 22-25 The Saints benefited from seven attack errors and a trio of service errors by the Braves on the way to capturing the second set. Flagler took its first lead of the set, 11-10, off of a kill by Victoria Bowrosen, but a 7-0 run by the Braves put them out in front, 19-16 minutes later. UNCP took a 22-21 lead following a kill from Katelyn West, but the Saints tacked up the set's final four points, including a pair via hitting errors by the Black & Gold.
SET 3 I 22-25 UNCP had all the makings of notching a win in set three, but another late run by the hosts sealed the final outcome. A kill by Katelyn West gave the Braves a key point that allowed them to forge a late 19-17 advantage, but the Saints rebounded to score three of the next four points and eventually knot things up at 20 points apiece. Kaila Crowder's kill, again, handed the Black & Gold a one-point lead, 22-21, but the Saints captured four consecutive points, including three via kill, to close out the night.
