JONESBORO, Ark. – Carly Turner tallied a career-high 20 kills, and Georgia Southern rallied from a 2-0 deficit to top Arkansas State 3-2 (16-25, 21-25, 25-21, 25-20, 15-11) in Sun Belt Conference volleyball action Friday night in First National Bank Arena.
Eagles of the Match
Turner had 20 kills on 60 swings with just five errors for the Eagles (7-15, 2-9), and Mya Wilson posted 12 kills and three blocks. Skylar Ball finished with nine kills, and Landon Jones notched 22 digs. Madison Brown collected 44 assists and 11 digs.
Key Plays
The Eagles won four straight points after the score was tied 10-10 in the fifth set, and Turner's kill set up match point. After an Eagle service error, Ball put down a ball to end the match.
Key Stats
The Eagles held Arkansas State (13-9, 4-6) to minus .018 hitting in the last three sets of the contest. The victory broke an eight-match losing skid against the Red Wolves.
Quotable from Coach Chad Willis
"I'm really proud of our effort tonight. Backs against the wall, on the road, and we stayed in the fight. I've said many times I don't think our conference record is indicative of our potential or the work we put in so we're really happy for the girls. They deserve it. Hopefully, it's a big dose of confidence heading down the stretch, and we can continue to work, build and get a little bit better each day."
Next Up
The Eagles travel to Little Rock for a 7:30 p.m. ET contest tomorrow night.
