Wolves Keep Close at Anderson

The Newberry College women's volleyball team (6-7, 1-4 SAC) returned to Anderson University on September 20th, to take on the Trojans in another South Atlantic Conference (SAC) matchup. The Wolves competed in three very competitive sets with the Trojans but fell to Anderson in all three.
 
The Trojans jumped out early to a 12-5 lead in the first set over the Wolves. A huge 11-1 run, led by sophomore Baylor Herlehy (Auburn, Calif.) who had 3 kills during the run, sparked a huge comeback taking a 16-13 lead. The Trojans continued to keep it close with the Wolves, eventually sparking a run of their own late, to take the first set 25-22.
 
The Trojans kept their momentum early in the second set, jumping out to a quick 5-1 lead. That would be the only major run that the Wolves would allow the Trojans have in the second set but could not create a big run of their own, falling eventually 25-19.
 
Freshman Samantha Shaffer (Belle Isle, Fla.) decided it was time for Newberry to start off with the momentum in the third set, having multiple kills on a 6-2 run to start. The Wolves would continue to lead until the midway point, when the Trojans small runs would them claw back and take a lead over Newberry. The Trojans would keep turn on the momentum late to finish off the Wolves, 25-19, to take the match 3-0.
 
Herlehy and Shaffer each had 9 kills to lead the Wolves, with senior Avery Webb (Florence, S.C.) leading the way with 18 assists.
 
The Wolves will see action again Friday, September 23rd, when they travel to Carson-Newman University to take on the Eagles at 7PM.
