Montreat volleyball found its rhythm last night in front of another energetic Cavalier crowd as they defeated UVA-Wise, 26-30, 30-22, 32-30, and 30-24. “The girls played phenomenal tonight,” praised Head Coach Leslie Gehris, “It was great to see them play like this tonight. If we can continue this level of play, the girls can surprise some teams at the AAC tournament. From the beginning of the match, this was a solid and consistent effort.” The Lady Cavs are now 12-17 overall and 5-11 in the AAC as they dropped an earlier match this week to Bryan College. Leaders for Montreat were Danny Bowers with 14 kills, 10 digs, and 4 solo blocks. Finding her first triple-double of the season, Rebekah Henderson earned 12 kills, 14 digs, and 10 service aces. Coach Gehris’ concern after the Bryan match was her team’s ability to defend. Her team provided great defense as they Bowers and Ally Baumgartner combined for 8 solo blocks against the Lady Cavs of UVA-Wise.

Lyndsey Wall tallied 48 assists for the match and 12 digs of her own.  Montreat continues conference play against Bluefield College this Saturday at McAlister; the match is scheduled for 3:00pm.
