Errors Send Cavalier Volleyball to Defeat at Charleston

Box Score CHARLESTON, W.Va. - - Host University of Charleston finished with a .222 hitting percentage en route to a 3-0 (25-15, 25-15, 25-22) Mountain East Conference victory over visiting UVa-Wise on Saturday.  The Golden Eagles' Katharine Furlong finished the match with 11 kills and 11 digs in aiding the host to victory.

In the opening set, Charleston (15-8, 6-4 MEC) used a 13-5 run to coast to a 25-15 win.  UVa-Wise (6-15, 1-8 MEC ) was plagued by seven hitting errors while collecting just nine kills in the set.  Five of the hitting errors occurred in the 13-5 Golden Eagles run.

The second set also featured a lengthy scoring run by the Charleston as a 12-5 run took the host advantage from 10-7 to 22-12.  Again, UVa-Wise would be unable to recover as Charleston duplicated its set one victory, 25-15.  In the set, the Golden Eagles' McKensie Milam claimed three consecutive service aces.

UVa-Wise would have its strongest showing in the final set of the match as the team trailed 12-11 mid-way through the set.  From there, a 4-0 run gave Charleston a 16-11 lead and UVa-Wise could not recover as Charleston won its fourth consecutive match.

Jessica Henry led all players with 21 assists and teammate Brittni Altmann finished with match-high 15 digs in the loss.
