HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Volleyball team (11-11, 2-7 SBC) fell in its weekend opener to Georgia State (13-8, 4-5 SBC) Friday night in the Cam Henderson Center.
Â
The Panthers won the contest in four sets, 25-22, 12-25, 25-22, 25-21.
Â
"We just didn't execute," Herd Volleyball Head Coach Ari Aganus said. "Defensively, we had some good runs, but errored too much and didn't put enough offense up on the board."
Â
Audrey Geer finished with a match-high 13 kills with Brynn Brown registering 37 assists. Peyton Neal netted a team-high 17 digs with Beatrice Ciccarelli rejecting eight attacks.
Â
After falling in a tightly contested first set, 25-22, The Herd dominated the second. Marshall trailed 6-5 early, but rattled off an 8-1 run, finished off by a Ciccarelli kill, Panthers attacking error and a combined block from Ciccarelli and McKenna Melton to take a 13-7 lead.
Â
MU finished off the set with six straight points, including the of the last four being service aces by Neal, to take the set 25-12. The Herd finished with 13 kills on 32 attacks with just two errors for a .344 attacking percentage while holding GSU to a -.033 in the set.
Â
Marshall overcame a five-point deficit, 11-6, to have the third set tied 22-22 after a Sarah Stratton kill. MU's comeback was fought off by Georgia State taking the set 25-22 and taking the fourth for the match, 25-21.
