DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Samford Bulldogs put four players in double figures in kills and hit .336 as a team to earn a 3-0 (25-20, 25-21, 25-23) Southern Conference volleyball victory over Davidson Friday evening at John M. Belk Arena.
Caroline Brown and Erin Lupfer led the Wildcat attack with 15 and 13 kills, respectively. Ariel Ley recorded 34 assists, and Molly Crenshaw had a team-high 14 digs.
Katie Murphy led Samford with 13 kills, while Elizabeth Neisler had 12. Michaela Reesor posted 11 kills and 13 digs, and Casey Garvey tallied a game-high 43 assists.
Davidson trailed the first set 21-18 after a Brown ace, but Neisler answered with a kill and the Wildcats had a hitting error to fall behind 23-18.
The Bulldogs won the first two points of the second set and never trailed, but the Wildcats were able to tie the score on four occasions. The last came on Ley's kill that knotted the set 17-17. Neisler's kill sparked a 5-2 run to open a 22-19 cushion for the Bulldogs. Davidson battled back to 22-20 on a Lupfer kill, but Samford scored two straight points en route to winning the set.
Samford won the first five points of the third set and led by as many as six points early. Davidson fought all the way back and cut the margin to 24-23 on a Brown kill, but Lauren Hutchinson combined with Neisler for a block on the next point to give the Bulldogs the win.
Davidson is back in action Saturday as the 'Cats host Chattanooga at 2 p.m. in Belk Arena.
