October 3rd -
After spending a rough two weeks at home, Greenville went back
on the road on Tuesday, but the results were much of the same
as they dropped a four set match to Lincoln Christian College.
The loss was Greenville's fifth in six games and dropped their
record to 5-11 on the year.
The Lady Panthers seemed out of sync in game one as they fell behind 0-3 before rallying to tie the score at 3 apiece. Following a Lincoln sideout, Greenville struggled mightily in their serve receiving as Lincoln ran off 9 straight points en route to a 4-15 victory.
Game two was nearly opposite of the first set as Greenville jumped out to a quick 6-1 lead behind the strong serving of Meredith McDaniels. McDaniels served three aces in the early part of the set and Sarah Swanson pounded out 5 kills in only 8 attempts in the game as Greenville rolled to the 15-4 win. Megan Vandiver provided a big spark on defense as she tallied one solo block and a pair of block assists in the game.
Game three found Greenville back in the hole as Lincoln rallied
to score the first 10 po
ints
of the game. After a pair of timeouts, the Lady Panthers slowly
crawled back into the game taking advantage of numerous LCC errors.
Greenville brought the score all the way back to 8-11, but could
not finish the comeback effort, dropping the set 10-15. Game four
was much like the first game as the Lady Panthers never were able
to get any offense going as they dropped the final frame 4-15.
Sarah Swanson had a very effective night both offensively and
defensively. "Sarah handled the bulk of our serve receive
tonight and she had a very solid night on offense as well,"
remarked Coach Rick McPeak. Swanson finished with 10 kills (.250
hitting percentage) and added 16 digs on the defensive side. Megan
Vandiver had a very solid blocking night for Greenville finishing
with 2 solo blocks and 3 block assists. G.C. was never able to
find an offensive rhythm as they finished the night with a hitting
percentage of only .053. G.C. will look to get back into the win
column on Thursday when they travel to MacMurray.
