Box Score
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Davidson Wildcat volleyball team placed three hitters in double figures, led by 13 from senior outside hitter Sarabeth Peele, but the College of Charleston prevailed, 3-1 (24-26, 25-18, 18-25, 14-25), in SoCon action Saturday afternoon at Carolina First Arena.
Junior outside hitter Christine Perzinski (11) and senior middle blocker Jorden Benedict (10) joined Peele in double figures for Davidson (11-9, 2-1 SoCon), who also got 35 assists from senior setter Hayley Lawson and 16 digs from senior libero Jennifer Chamblee. Lawson also finished with 10 digs and a team-high four blocks.
Charleston (16-5, 5-1 SoCon) was led by Whitney Russell and Ginny Phillips, who finished with 13 and 12 kills, respectively. Cole Dawley added 36 assists and led the defense with 15 digs.
The first set was back and forth with nine ties early, until with the set knotted at 16, the Cougars put together a 3-0 run, including a pair of kills from Phillips, to take a 19-16 lead and force Davidson into a timeout. The Wildcats battled back and a kill from Peele put them within a score, 19-18, before the Cougars had their first set-point chance with a 24-22 lead. Back-to-back kills from junior opposite Erin Lupfer and Perzinski knotted the set at 24, but Charleston won the next two for the 26-24 win in the opening set.
After an ace from sophomore Molly Crenshaw, Perzinski put Davidson up 12-6 to start the second set. Charleston put together a 4-0 run to cut Davidson's lead to three, 13-10, but the Wildcats held, until an ace from Lawson gave Davidson an 18-13 advantage and forced the Cougars into a timeout. Charleston made one final push, cutting the 'Cats' lead to three again, 21-18, but a kill from Benedict, who combined with Lawson for a block in the next play, put the game in hand as Davidson evened the set with the 25-18 win.
Charleston opened an 11-6 lead in the third set, but the Wildcats cut it to a point, 14-13, with a 4-0 run and a pair of kills from Benedict. Davidson kept pace with the Cougars, trailing just a pair, 19-17, on a kill from Lupfer, but Charleston closed with a 6-1 run to take a 2-1 lead in the match with a 25-18 win. The Cougars jumped out to a 6-1 lead to open the final set and used a pair of 5-0 runs to break the set open. Davidson fought off three match points, but the Cougars picked up the 25-14 win to take the match.
Davidson will return to action tomorrow at The Citadel at 2 p.m.
