It was a triumphant week for the Spartans' volleyball team, winning matches against Winston Salem State and Georgia Southern. The disheartening two-game losing streak that plagued the Spartans was finally over.
The Spartans began Southern Conference play with a 3-2 victory over Georgia Southern last Saturday afternoon.
The Eagles took the early lead in game one and the Spartans battled hard, but their efforts weren't enough as the Eagles took game one 30-27.
The Spartans were out for revenge in game two and came out with the staggering 30-15 victory.
In a back and forth match the Eagles took a close game three over the Spartans 30-23.
The Spartans dominated once again in game four when they beat the Eagles 30-15.
Both the Spartans and the Eagles played with an equal amount of intensity as game five continued this back and forth trend, but UNCG's Katherine Hart closed the game with a kill giving the Spartans the hard fought 15-13 victory.
Kaitlyn Nortz had a season-high 19 kills while fellow teammates Branagan Fuller and Emily Lindborg both tallied 17 kills. Lisa Fawell had a game-high 68 assists while Catherine Hanners had 28 digs on the afternoon.
Last Tuesday night the Spartans victoriously took the non-conference match against Winston Salem State with a 3-0 sweep.
Game one started out close, but the Spartans picked up momentum and won the first game 30-8.
The Lady Rams took an early lead in game two, but the Spartans came back to beat Winston Salem 30-10.
Several lead changes put the Spartans back in game three but a kill from Alissa Beaudway turned the Spartans around and the Spartans came out on top with the 30-15 victory.
Beaudway tallied a career-high 15 kills and Kayren Finney followed behind her with seven kills on the night. Elizabeth Farley tallied a career-high five digs, and Kimiko Natio had 20 assists.
The Spartans return to action when they take a short road trip to take on North Carolina A&T on Tuesday, Sept. 18. From there the Spartans will travel to South Carolina to take on The Citadel on Sept. 21 and then the College of Charleston on Sept. 22.
