The Newberry College women's volleyball team (7-8, 2-5 SAC) had a huge bounce back game at Lincoln Memorial University against the Railsplitters, taking a 3-1 victory on Saturday afternoon.

The sides were competitive quickly to start the first period, but a quick run highlighted by kills from junior Taylor Hall (McDonough, Ga.) got the Wolves the momentum first, going up 10-5 early. The Wolves were able to keep that lead steady throughout, taking the first set 25-21.
 
Wolves' attacks and Railsplitters errors were the two main things that started the second set, highlighted by many kills from senior Elizabeth Ober (Houston, Texas), jumping out a lead as large as eleven at one point. A late push from the Railsplitters wasn't enough for them, as Newberry took the second set, 25-20.
 
Lincoln Memorial found themselves with the momentum to start the third set, jumping out to a lead of their own. A run from freshman Kate Brown (Platte City, Mo.) tried to help bring the Wolves back in it, but it wasn't enough as the Railsplitters took the third set 25-16 to force a fourth set.
 
Newberry found their groove quickly to open the fourth set, jumping out on a 7-0 run. The Wolves were able to keep many runs going from attacks from freshman Samantha Shaffer (Belle Isle, Fla.) and sophomore Baylor Herlehy (Auburn, Calif.), cruising to 25-10 fourth set victory to win the match 3-1.
 
Shaffer had a game high 14 kills to lead the Wolves, with senior Avery Webb leading the way with 24 assists, followed by sophomore Paige Patrick (Lewisville, Texas) with 18.
 
The Wolves will begin a six game homestand on Tuesday, September 27 as they host Lander University at 6 PM.
