RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Davidson Wildcat volleyball team opened its 2009 season with a pair of losses to Campbell and Charleston Southern Friday at the NC State Classic at Reynolds Coliseum on the campus of NC State University.
The Wildcats suffered a 3-1 (25-16, 19-25, 25-22, 25-12) loss to Campbell (1-0) in the first match of the day, before dropping the second, 3-1, (25-21, 24-26, 25-20, 25-23) to Charleston Southern (1-0).
Junior outside hitter Sarabeth Peele led the Wildcats with a match-high 14 kills against Campbell and a team-best 16 kills against Charleston Southern.
Peele was the only player in double figures against the Camels, with Christine Perzinski and Jorden Benedict just behind with nine and eight kills, respectively. Junior setter Hayley Lawson finished with 36 assists, and freshman Molly Crenshaw anchored the defense with 15 digs. Caroline Hammersley led the Camels with nine kills.
Perzinski and sophomore Madison Benedict tallied 12 kills against Charleston Southern, who was led by Amanda Hill with 17. Junior setter Anna Bradbury posted 47 assists, and Crenshaw again led the defense with 12 digs.
In the first match, Campbell opened up an 11-3 lead. The Wildcats managed to close the gap to 17-13, but a five-point run put the Camels back ahead, 22-13. Campbell won the last three points to take the first set, 25-16.
The second set was back and forth until the Wildcats used a 5-1 run to take a 16-12 lead. Davidson evened the match at a game apiece behind a 9-6 advantage to claim a 25-19 win.
Campbell jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in the third set and used a 4-0 run to push the margin to 12-6. The Wildcats would battle back to trail just a point, 21-20, but the Camels won the next two crucial scores for a 23-20 lead and took a 2-1 edge in the match with the 25-22 win. The Camels took an overwhelming 14-2 lead to open the fourth and final set, taking the match with a 25-12 win.
The Wildcats came back for the second match of the day and, despite close scores, dropped a 3-1 decision to the Charleston Southern Buccaneers. In the first set, the Bucs took a slight lead, but a pair of kills from Peele gave the 'Cats the 17-15 edge. Three straight Wildcat errors put the Bucs back up, and despite evening the score once more at 18-all, the 'Cats lost the first set, 25-21.
In the second set, Davidson grabbed a 10-5 lead, but Charleston used a 10-5 run of its own to tie the score at 15. The teams traded points until the 'Cats finally got a set-point opportunity at 24-23. A kill from Cori Holeman forced extra play, but a Buc hitting error coupled with a kill from Peele delivered the game, 26-24, for the Wildcats.
It was Charleston who took an early lead in the third set, opening a 6-2 margin before allowing Davidson to pull ahead, 10-8 behind a five-point serve from Jennifer Chamblee. The Bucs, though, reclaimed the lead with a 10-3 run, and went on to take a 2-1 lead in the match with a 25-20 win.
In the fourth and decisive set, neither team could gain more than a two-point advantage, until Charleston opened up a 20-16 lead, which proved enough for the 25-23 win for the match.
Davidson will finish its tournament appearance with a pair of matches tomorrow, taking on Morgan State at 2 p.m. and the host Wolfpack at 7 p.m.
