JACKSON, Tenn. - 10/6/2007 - The 91±¬ÁÏÍø volleyball team got back on the winning track with a 3-0 (30-28, 30-22, 30-21) over Cumberland University (Tenn.). 91±¬ÁÏÍø improved to 12-4 overall and 6-4 in the TranSouth. Cumberland dropped to 18-11 on the season and 5-7 in the league.
Just last week, 91±¬ÁÏÍø and Cumberland locked up in a five-game battle that 91±¬ÁÏÍø would eventually win in Lebanon, Tenn. 3-2 (30-26, 30-19, 26-30, 23-30, 16-14). On this day, the first game was more of the same as the teams swapped points back and forth in the first two games before 91±¬ÁÏÍø took the games 30-28 and 30-22. And after leading 2-0 last week versus Cumberland and seeing that lead evaporate, the Lady Bulldogs made sure the door was shut on this Saturday afternoon as they clinched the victory with a 30-21 win in the third and final game.
Leading 91±¬ÁÏÍø was CJ Neathamer with 12 kills, followed closely by Jackson native Amanda Hutchison Coyle with 11 kills. Jennifer Martins posted 33 assists, while Lindsey Wallach led with 18 digs.
