Box Score
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Despite strong play from senior middle blocker Kittery Neale, the Davidson Wildcats volleyball team dropped a 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-14) decision to the Georgetown Hoyas in their first match at the Carolina Classic in Chapel Hill Friday afternoon.
Neale finished the match with a team-high nine kills, while hitting .389 (9-2-18), but it was not enough offense for the 'Cats, who fall to 1-3 early in the season.
With the win, Georgetown moves to 3-1. Jessica Hardy led the way for the Hoyas, finishing with 10 kills on just 20 swings, and Sara Manley added seven kills. Hardy also led the defense with eight digs, while Caitlin Boland tallied 30 assists.
Georgetown jumped out to an early lead in the first game of the match, opening up a 14-7 deficit and forcing a Wildcat timeout. But the 'Cats clawed back and, with a 10-5 run, got within two behind back-to-back putaways from freshman Jessica McAlvany and sophomore Jorden Benedict.
Davidson stayed close, 20-18, but the Hoyas picked up a couple of crucial points late in the game. Trailing 22-18, Davidson scored on a service error from Katherine Niesen, but Manley kept Georgetown in control and a Wildcat error gave them a game-point try. Neale put away a set from sophomore Hayley Lawson to survive, but Vanessa Dorismond lifted the Hoyas to a 25-20 win in the first game.
The Hoyas opened the second game by winning four straight points, and the Wildcats were unable to recover. An 11- 6 run pushed that lead to 16-9 and forced the Wildcats into a timeout. Davidson had a chance in the game when, after a kill from freshman Christine Perzinski followed by a block from sophomore Sarabeth Peele, they trailed just 20-15, but after a couple of hitting errors, Hardy gave Georgetown a 2-1 lead in the match with a 25-17 victory.
The third game was competitive early, but a five-point serve from Manley opened up a 20-10 lead, simply too much for Davidson, who dropped the match with a 25-14 loss in the final game.
The Wildcats will play a pair of matches on the final day of the Carolina Classic, taking on Missouri State at 10 a.m. and host North Carolina in the nightcap at 7 p.m
