Wolves Topped by Hatters

DELAND, Fla. - UWG volleyball's weekend in Florida ended today with a 3-0 defeat to Stetson in the Insight Credit Union Arena at Edmunds Center. 

Despite falling in its away match, West Georgia (2-15, 0-4 ASUN) demonstrated a valiant effort, highlighted by the Wolves forcing the Hatters (6-10, 2-2 ASUN) to secure their set two win in extra points, and overcoming a nine-point deficit while down two sets to put the team in position to win in set three. 

The Wolves were led by right side hitter Grace-Blythe Cornett with a UWG-high 16 points while tying her career-high 15 kills. Middle blockers Sanai Young and Alex Strating followed with ten and seven points, respectively. Setter Addy Franz posted a career-high five points and three service aces.

With Franz setting up assist after assist to the Pack, West Georgia caught back up, knotting the game at 6-6.
