ARLINGTON, Texas – Brooke Townsend had 15 kills and 15 digs, while three total Mavericks racked up double-digit kill marks to lead Ut-Arlington to a 3-0 (25-21, 25-17, 25-17) Sun Belt Conference volleyball win over Georgia Southern Friday night at College Park Center.

Carly Turner led the Eagles with nine kills while Baylor Bumford added eight kills with a .538 hitting percentage. Landon Jones and Madison Brown combined for 26 digs.

UTA recorded six aces while GS only posted one in addition to winning the hitting percentage battle .267 to .149.
Key moments
After Georgia Southern (6-10, 1-4) held an early 7-6 advantage, UT-Arlington (11-7, 3-3) jumped out to an eight-point lead in the first set and fended off a late Eagles comeback to win 25-21. The Mavericks never allowed an Eagle lead for the remainder of the game.
Quotables from head coach Chad Willis
""We came out very flat tonight, we put together some solid stretches at the end of sets but spent the majority of the match against the ropes. I'm disappointed we're not finding the consistency because we're seeing it in practice, but it's just a matter of trusting the process and staying the course come match time. We will continue to push the priorities and little things as we work to find that rhythm as a team."
Next up
GS faces Texas State Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in San Marcos. The Bobcats swept Georgia State 3-0 Friday night.
