GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Newberry College's Jessica Lipsi recorded 16 kills to lead the Lady Indians to a 3-1 South Atlantic Conference volleyball win over host Tusculum College Friday night at Alpine Arena.  Newberry completes the season sweep over the Pioneers (9-16, 0-12 SAC) winning the match by scores of 21-30, 30-21, 30-20, 32-30.  The Lady Indians improve to 8-16 overall and 3-9 in league play while ending a six-match losing streak.

In the opening game, TC used a 9-0 run to move out to an 11-1 lead on Rowles serve.  Sophomore Jessica Horton (Hendersonville, N.C.) accounted for five of her match-best eight blocks during that spurt.  Newberry cut the deficit to 14-10 with a 9-4 run, capped off by a consecutive digs from Alicia Khoury (Toledo, Ohio).  But TC answered with back-to-back kills from Jaeger and a service ace from Rowles to close out the frame 30-21.

The score was close early in the third game as the score was tied six times, but Newberry went on a 5-0 run to move out to a 12-7 advantage, before winning the frame 30-20 as Foster-Mann tallied five of her 13 kills on the night.

The fourth game was a thriller as Newberry led through most of the first part of the frame, holding its biggest advantage at 14-10 following a kill from Foster-Mann.  But Tusculum responded with a 5-1 spurt as Jaeger tied the frame at 15-15 on her kill.  With the score tied at 19-19, Tusculum got two kills from Lindsey McGrady (Kingsport, Tenn.) and a service ace from Carrie Miller (Johnson City, Tenn.) to move ahead 23-20.  The Lady Indians used a 7-1 run to move out to a 27-24 lead after blocks from Foster-Mann and Khoury.  It was TC's turn to answer as it posted a 5-2 run and was serving game point at 29-28.  But Lipsi closed out the match with two kills down the stretch as Newberry won 32-30.
