Volleyball Suffers Sweep at South Carolina
11/16/2018 | Volleyball
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Junior Emily Stroup turned in her league-leading 14thdouble-double, but it wasn't enough as Ole Miss Volleyball suffered the sweep in South Carolina, falling 25-20, 25-20, 25-23.
Ole Miss slips to 13-17 and 3-13 in SEC play, while South Carolina improves to 19-6, 10-5.
Stroup turned in a team-high 13 kills to accompany 12 digs, while sophomore setter Lauren Bars also registered her third double-double of the year, tallying 30 assists and 12 digs. Freshman Aubrey Sultemeier posted five blocks to lead the net defense.
The opening stanza was very much a back-and-forth affair early, as the Rebels held a slight advantage after a four-point rally put them up 8-5. The Gamecocks responed by using their own series of runs, stringing together two separate 3-0 rallies and a 4-0 run to take a 17-14 lead and shift the momentum.
Ole Miss stayed within earshot, coming within one on four separate occasions from the 18-19 mark onward, but South Carolina sealed the set by securing the final four points of the set to take a 25-20 victory.
The Gamecocks continued to control the contest, building a lead of as many as four points in the second set. The Rebels cut the lead to two as late as 20-18, but were unable to mount a comeback, dropping the second frame by an identical score.
The hot swinging stayed for South Carolina, who used a 5-0 run, followed by another four straight points to build an 11-6 lead over the Rebels. Ole Miss responded with their own rally, picking up kills from freshman Aubrey Sultemeier and senior Caitlin Wernentin to guide a 3-0 run and come within one at 14-13.
The Rebels continued to chip away, using another three-point sequence- this time courtesy of two Gamecock errors and a rejection from junior Nayo Warnell at the net- to narrow the gap to 19-18.
Ole Miss then secured four consecutive points to even the score and eventually take the lead on an extensive and intense volley which found Mulkey on the firing end of a big-time kill to put the Rebels up 21-20.
Ole Miss continued to ride the comeback, adding a point on a block from Mulkey and Sultemeier to go up 23-21. South Carolina spoiled the excitement, winning the final four points of the contest to pull off the sweep.
UP NEXT
Ole Miss will play its final game in Gillom this season, welcoming Alabama Sunday for a rematch at 3 p.m. The Rebels will honor their quartet of seniors prior to Sunday's match.
