DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Caley Redden finished with 14 kills and 14 digs to lead the UNCG Spartans to a 3-1 (20-25, 21-25, 25-21, 20-25) win over the Davidson Wildcats Sunday afternoon in SoCon volleyball action at Belk Arena.
Ariel Newman also had 14 kills for UNCG, who improves to 17-6 overall and 5-3 in the SoCon, and Ari Lysacek turned in a double-double with 32 assists and 13 digs.
Senior outside hitter Sarabeth Peele finished with 14 kills to lead Davidson (13-11, 4-3), who also got 11 kills from senior middle blocker Jorden Benedict and a season-high eight from freshman Tindall Sewell. Senior setter Hayley Lawson posted 39 assists, and senior libero Jennifer Chamblee paced the defense with 12 digs.
Greensboro took a 12-5 lead to start the match before Davidson rattled off four straight, including an ace from sophomore Molly Crenshaw and a kill by Benedict, to force a Spartan timeout at 14-10. The Wildcats knotted the score at 16 behind a 6-2 run, and the teams traded points until, tied at 18, the Spartans closed with a 7-2 spurt to win the first set, 25-20.
The second set was back-and-forth early, but UNCG opened a 16-10 lead with a 10-4 run. Trailing 22-16, the Wildcats put together a 5-1 run with a kill from Benedict, who also served a pair of points, to force UNCG into a timeout, 23-20. Billi Baker gave the Spartans their first set-point chance, but an error extended play until Olivia Humphries lifted UNCG to a 2-0 lead in the match with the 25-21 win.
The Wildcats turned a 3-1 deficit into a 6-4 lead to start the third set, as Benedict got a kill and two aces. Greensboro stayed close, getting within a point on several occasions, but Davidson held the lead until kills from Humphries and Finney put the Spartans ahead, 16-15. The Wildcats responded with a 3-0 run to reclaim the lead and closed out the 25-21 win.
Greensboro opened up an 11-10 game with a 6-3 run to grab a 17-13 lead and force Davidson into a timeout. The Spartans pushed their advantage to 21-15 and fought off a late-set charge by the Wildcats, who cut UNCG's lead to 23-20 with a 5-2 run. But a Wildcat service error gave UNCG a match point, and Finney put away the winner for the 25-20 decision.
Davidson will return to action Thursday, hosting Georgia Southern at 6 p.m. for its third straight SoCon match at Belk Arena.
