Carrollton, GA - The 2013 Gulf South/Sunshine State Crossover started on a sour note for the UWG volleyball squad, as the Wolves fell 3-0 to SSC opponent Lynn in the afternoon session of the first day on Friday at The Coliseum.

Senior #Emily Reul# was the only UWG player in double-figures in kills for the Wolves on the afternoon, picking up 12 kills in the match. Junior #Tiesha Alston# had a solid game individually with nine kills and no errors with a hitting percentage of .692 on the afternoon.

The two teams matched each other shot-for-shot for the first 14 points, with neither team gaining a decided advantage, but over the final half of the set, the Knights outscored West Georgia 11-7 to take a 25-21 victory and a 1-0 lead in the match. The second set was the back-breaker for the Wolves, though, as UWG led 19-11 before Lynn reeled off a 14-3 run to take a 25-22 win and a two sets to none lead.

In the third and final set, Lynn used that momentum to build a 20-12 lead and then held off a late charge from the Wolves to take a 25-19 win and the match.

#Melissa Holt# had 21 digs in the match, and the senior now has 1,339 career digs. The Newport News, VA native needs 76 digs to become the all-time leader in West Georgia history in that category.

West Georgia has had a schedule change for the final day of the Crossover on Saturday, taking on Rollins in the 11:30 a.m. time slot as originally scheduled. But the Wolves matchup with Palm Beach Atlantic that was schedule for 4:30 will now be at 5:30 tomorrow afternoon.
