Danny Bowers and Allison Baumgartner combined for 22 kills for the Lady Cavs; however, it was not enough to hold off AAC conference foe Bluefield College, as Montreat fell to the Lady Rams in three straight games, 27-30, 27-30, 25-30. Coming off of a solid win against AAC opponent Tennessee Wesleyan, the Lady Cavs were looking forward to this Bluefield match. The loss however gives Montreat a combined record of 3-6 and 1-4 in the AAC. Nonetheless, Coach Leslie Gehris felt the loss had its bright moments, “All in all, we played poorly as a team. But, our passing game has improved, but we just couldn’t put the ball away. We weren’t smart with our hitting decisions.”

Defensively, Rebecca Henderson, Jessica Huntley, and Emily Piccirillo earned 14 digs each against the Lady Rams.  Madolyn Helms was also credited with 3 aces on the night and Lyndsey Wall had her second consecutive 40-plus assist match, as she was credited with 41 against Bluefield College.

Montreat Volleyball is back in action against Mars Hill on the road this Thursday at 7:00pm.
