NEWBERRY, S.C. - Aiken's Mandy Gerolstein and Jenny Lloyd accounted for 19 points each off kills and blocks to send USC Aiken over Newberry College, 30-23 30-26 30-23, in Tuesday night's volleyball action at Eleazer Arena.

Newberry (7-14, 2-8 SAC) struggled with the height matchup and inconsistency throughout the night.  USC Aiken (16-9, 3-4 PBC) outhit the Lady Indians .339 to .172 and capitalized on 32 total errors by the home team.

The Lady Pacers shot out of the gates and led the first game 10-5, then 20-8 after Newberry had exhausted both timeouts to stop the bleeding.  To Newberry's credit, the ladies did draw back as close as 23-28 before Aiken put down the final two balls on Lloyd (Fife, Wash.) and Missy Deardorff (Dumfries, Va.) kills.

Game two saw USCA take an early 6-1 advantage before the Lady Indians drew even at 15 all.  Newberry pushed ahead 19-17, but an 8-1 Pacer tear put the game out of reach as the Indians would get no closer than three points, eventually falling 30-26.

The Lady Indians appeared revitalized in the final frame, jumping from a 9-11 deficit to a 17-14 lead.  Following the Aiken timeout, the Lady Pacers rattled off seven consecutive points, then another five straight points, and were not seriously threatened the rest of the match.

Freshman Jamie Foster-Mann (Painted Post, N.Y.) led the way for Newberry with nine kills.  Junior setter Alicia Khoury (Toledo, Ohio) dished 28 assists, had eight digs, and recorded five kills of her own.  Sophomore Katie Stone (Greenville, S.C.), coming off wisdom tooth surgery, put down six kills and three service aces.

USCA's Gerolstein (Millersville, Md.) had 14 kills and five blocks in the contest.  Lloyd put down 19 kills in the match.  Junior setter Rachel Dalitz (Orange, Calif.) set the plate most of the night for the big hitters, assisting 44 kills.

Newberry will take a South Atlantic Conference trip to the Tarheel State this weekend to battle Catawba and Wingate.  USC Aiken hosts a pair of Peach Belt Conference opponents in Lander and USC Upstate on Friday and Saturday.
