HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Volleyball team (9-7, 0-3 SBC) fell in its home Sun Belt Conference Opener in three sets (27-25, 25-17, 25-18) to the Georgia Southern Eagles (11-1, 1-0 SBC) on Thursday night in the Cam Henderson Center.
Â
"We created opportunities, we just didn't execute on those," Herd Volleyball Head Coach Ari Aganus said after the match. "I think the moments were there. They picked us a part pretty good. We just didn't respond well enough for it."
Â
Beatrice Ciccarelli and Audrey Geer each finished with a team-high 11 kills as Brynn Brown recorded a double-double with 18 assists and 10 digs.
Â
The first set was hotly contested seeing the scoreboard tied 16 times and having eight lead changes. With the score tied 21-21 late in the set, the two sides traded the next eight points to see the score tied 25-25. The Eagles then used a service ace and a kill to take the opening frame in extra points 27-25.
Â
The Herd found itself down 19-12 deep into the second set. However, a 4-1 run brought Marshall within four points, 20-16, with run the being finished off by a Geer kill and a GS attacking error. Georgia Southern held off Marshall's comeback to take the set 25-17.
Â
MU battled in the third but couldn't get on top of the Eagles in the third. GS recorded a match-high 17 sets in the eventual final set taking it 25-18.
