HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Volleyball Team (16-11, 9-7 SBC) concluded the regular season with a sweep (25-23, 25-15, 27-25) on Senior Day Friday night over the Southern Miss Golden Eagles in the Cam Henderson Center.
Â
"Just really proud of our group," Herd Volleyball Head Coach Heather Stout said. "I mean a great Senior Day for Chica and Kyile to end here at home, three sets, back-to-back sweeps, against a really competitive Southern Miss team. I think it was great momentum for us heading into Foley."
Â
Maddie Smith led the Herd with 13 kills and .257 hitting percentage and 17 digs for a double-double. Carys Kerr had 10 kills and a .348 hitting percentage. Isabella Nieves led the team with 19 assists.
Â
In the first set, Marshall held a 10-3 lead midway through the set. However, Southern Miss answered and came back to take a 13-12 advantage. Despite the Golden Eagles leading the majority of the set from that point, Marshall battled to see the scoreboard tied 23-23. A USM attacking error and a kill by Kahea Carvalho saw MU take the opening frame 25-23.
Â
The second set was tightly contested through the first 18 points with it knotted at 9-9. Then Marshall kicked it into gear capturing 16 of the final 22 points with a Logan Henderson kill ending the set at 25-15.
Â
The third set saw Southern Miss hold the advantage for the vast majority of the frame. The visitors held a 23-21 lead late, but a Southern Miss attacking error and an Emma Barnett service ace evened it at 23-23. The Golden Eagles had set point at 25-24, but a Southern Miss attacking error and a Marae Reilly service ace saw MU at set point with a 26-25 lead. Then a fitting ending on Senior Night saw Ciccarelli register the final kill to seal the set 27-25 and the sweep.
