Box Score
FOLEY, Ala. – The Marshall University volleyball team (10-20) falls to the South Alabama Jaguars (17-12) in four sets, 3-1, (25-11, 22-25, 25-16, 25-12) on Thursday night in the second round of the 2022 Sun Belt Conference Tournament.
"This is not at all how we wanted our season to end," Herd head coach Ari Aganus said. "However, having the first postseason win since 2013 is something to be so proud of. This was a special group on and off the floor. I thank the seniors for giving their all to this program and choosing Marshall to finish their careers. We thank you Herd Nation for your continued support and we'll see you better than ever next fall!"
Graduate student Macy McElhaney recorded a double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs. Junior Regan Tinkle added 11 kills.
Sophomore Brynn Brown had 16 assists while graduate student Kaitlyn Gehler had 10 digs.
The Jaguars captured the opening set 25-11.
Marshall trailed 10-8 in the second set, but rattled off four quick points to go up 12-10. It eventually led 16-11 after a kill by McElhaney went with a pair of service aces and a kill by junior Lydia Montague. The Herd did not trail the rest of the set as it took the second frame 25-22.
South Alabama, however, went on to take the match after taking the third 25-16 and the fourth 25-12.
