Defensive Battle Goes in Favor of the Warriors

BRUNSWICK, Ga.- The Coastal Georgia volleyball team was close to repeating what happened last year against Webber International (9-7, 3-3) when they pulled off the reverse sweep but the Warriors locked in late and escaped with a 3-2 win.

The Mariners (6-8, 2-4) played a well rounded game but just were not able to capitalize on crucial moments in the fifth set.

The Warriors jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after a dominate second-set win that saw them up 24-14 before five straight Mariners points made it interesting.

In set three, Coastal took a stand and after being down 21-17 came back to score the final eight points of the set led by Madison Heskett who had three kills and was in on two blocks to give the Mariners a 25-21 win and push the match to a fourth set.

Both teams traded early runs in the fourth set as Coastal jumped out to a 5-1 lead before Webber answered back to take a 7-5 lead. From there it was back-and-forth with the Mariners clutching up at the end to take the final three points and win 26-24.

The final set followed the trend of the previous four, back-and-forth with a few runs, but it wasn't until the set was tied at 11-11 that the Warriors locked and got four straight kills from Bailey Sikkema and Nadia Reid to close out the match and avoid the reverse sweep.

BY THE NUMBERS-
COACHES CORNER- Val Every

"Defensively, it was a really good day. 17 digs from Rebecca (Brown) and Skylar (Gribben), 11 from Sara (Hansen), 11 from Jenna (Rogers) and 12 from Kira (Matthias). If that's not a testament to the work we put in this week than I don't know what it is. Our goal today was to be a defensive team and we did that."
