Volleyball Team Splits Four Matches Against Top Competition At Thomas More Invitational

The Piedmont College volleyball team competed in the Thomas More College Invitational this weekend and came out with a pair of wins against host Thomas More and Westminster College but dropped a pair of matches to Christopher Newport University and Capital University. The women needed all fives games to defeat TMC while needing only three games to defeat Westminster, currently tied for first place in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.

For her efforts DeMarrais was named to the Thomas More College Invtiational All-Tournament Team.

The women improve to 15-7 overall and will return to the court again on Tuesday, October 17th as they travel to Brenau University for a doubleheader featuring host Brenau and non-conference Oglethorpe University with the first match slated for 4:00.
