PC Volleyball Team Splits Pair Of Non-Conference Matches

In a non-conference doubleheader this evening the Piedmont College volleyball team fell to host Brenau University 26-30, 26-30, 30-28 and 26-30 but rebounded to overcome Oglethorpe University in straight sets 30-27, 30-17 and 30-28. Despite having three players reach double-figure kills against Brenau, the Lady Lions committed 16 return errors and dropped the four-set decision.

Meghann Clark and Jacque DeMarrais both recorded 14 kills in the first match and setter B.J. Ostrzycki recorded 44 assists. Defensively Jill Sparger was impressive again at the libero position posting 15 digs.

It was all PC against Oglethorpe in the nightcap as Clark reached double-figures in kills again with 10 while setter Tyler Baldonado filled in for an injured Ostrzycki with 33 assists and seven service aces.

The split moves Piedmont to 16-8 overall. The women will return to the court again this weekend as the team travels to Maryville College for a GSAC Round-Robin weekend.
