Principia def. Greenville (3-0)
10-15, 11-15, 15-17
(10/13/00 at Principia)

October 13th - The Lady Panthers continued their mid-season struggles on Friday dropping a three-set match at Principia 10-15, 11-15, 15-17. Despite some excellent play early in all three sets, Greenville was unable to hold onto a lead as Principia came away with a win in front of their big homecoming crowd.

In game one Greenville raced to a 6-1 lead thanks to a balanced offensive attack and a number of Principia errors. However, the home team fought back to tie the game at seven before moving ahead at 8-9. With the Panthers trailing 10-12, a pair of serve receive errors pushed Principia over the edge as they went on to win 10-15.

Game two started much like the first as G.C. staked itself to a 9-4 lead backed by a strong run of points from outside hitter Michea McKay. McKay banged out 8 kills in the set, but Greenville once again hit a rough spot halfway through the set allowing Principia to tie the game at 9-9. The Lady Panthers never recovered as P.C. ran off the final four points in the game to win 11-15.

Unlike games one and two, game three found Principia as the aggressor early forcing Greenville into taking an early timeout trailing 5-6. Greenville regrouped and came back firing to take an 11-7 lead forcing a timeout from P.C. Principia ran off five consecutive points after the timeout and led 11-12 late. They would eventually push the lead to 12-14, but Greenville held off four match points and tied the game at 15. As was the case much of the night, a pair of sloppy points went Principia's way as Greenville dropped the set 15-17.

Michea McKay continued her strong freshman season as she tallied 16 kills in the match (16K, 9E, 40ATT - .175). Julia Wheeler was solid all night in the middle finishing wth 9 kills and a .368 hitting percentage. Greenville will look to rebound on Saturday as they host Blackburn College at 2:30 for homecoming.
