Eagles of the Match
Chamblee Russell tallied a match-high 17 kills to go along with three digs, and Hannah McGlockton collected 12 kills and two blocks. Ashlyn Lovett finished with 17 digs, and Grace Slader posted 37 assists, 10 digs, two blocks and an ace.
Key Moments
Trailing 1-0 in the match, Coastal Carolina (9-4, 3-0) broke a 21-21 tie in the second set by running off four straight points. Ani Bozdeva put down consecutive kills and was in on a block before Brigitta Petrenko ended the set with an ace, tying the match 1-1.
The score was tied 12-12 in the third set when the Chanticleers got a sideout on a Cheyenne Jones kill, and Coastal Carolina tacked on five more points behind the serve of Marija Borcic with the last coming on an ace. The Eagles trailed 18-15 in the fourth set when Bozdeva keyed a four-point run with a pair of kills and Petrenko added an ace for a 22-15 cushion.
After jumping out to a 6-0 lead to start the match, the Eagles (9-4, 2-1) went on to win the first set 26-24. Coastal Carolina fought off two set points before McGlockton put down a kill and the Chants committed a hitting error.
Stat of the Match
Coastal Carolina held a 12-4 edge in service aces, and the Chanticleers finished with eight more swings and six more kills than the Eagles.
Quotables from Coach Chad Willis
"It was a tough result tonight. I thought we came out with great energy and focus in sets 1 and 2, established an attacking mindset and took care of the opportunities we created with first contact. Credit to Coastal for their response and putting pressure back on us. There were lots of good takeaways for us to build on. We're clearly disappointed in the loss and will use it to feed our energy on the turnaround Sunday."
