Rebels fall 3-0 in second-to-last home match
OXFORD, Miss. โย Ole Miss Volleyball (14-11, 6-8 SEC)ย dropped its penultimate home contest Friday, falling 3-0 to Georgia (18-7, 10-4 SEC)ย by scores 18-25, 19-25, 21-25 in Gillom Athletics Performance Center.ย
ย
Senior libero Nicole Purcell tallied 20 digs in the contest, tying for the fifth-most in a three-set match in program history. This marks the third time this season Purcell has recorded a top five single-match dig performance.
ย
The veteran has registered 13 games with 20 digs or more this season, and moves into fourth-place for single-season digs after Friday's contest with 479.ย
ย
Classmates Emily Stroup and Nayo Warnell each tallied six kills, while junior setter Lauren Bars dished out 20 assists.ย
ย
The match began with the squads trading points, Georgia holding the early advantage. A kill from sophomore Aubrey Sultemeier, followed by a solo rejection from veteran Leah Mulkey and a Purcell service ace, helped the Rebels narrow the gap to 9-11. Another three-point sequence, this time courtesy of kills from Warnell and freshman Anna Bair bookended a Georgia miscue, and evened the contest at 12-12.ย
ย
UGA regained the lead and added cushion on a 6-2 run, putting the Bulldogs up 18-14, and taking the upper hand in the match after four-straight points sealed the first set 25-18.ย
ย
The second frame consisted of an early back-and-forth affair, with Ole Miss building early cushion on a 4-0 run to go up 5-2. Georgia then responded with four consecutive points of their own, taking the slight edge at 6-5 before it was quickly cut off once more from a set-tying kill from Bair.ย
ย
The Rebels used a pair of Bars service aces, combined with a Stroup slam and Bulldog error, to regain the lead at 11-9. Georgia quickly tied the contest and took control once more as the cat-and-mouse ensued. A kill and back-to-back service aces from Georgia junior Kianna Young put the Bulldogs up 16-14 and began a 7-1 run as they finished Set 2 25-19 and took a 2-0 match lead.ย ย
ย
After a kill from Stroup tied the third frame at 9-9, Georgia collected five straight points to maintain the lead and add cushion at 14-9. The Rebels chipped away, trimming the deficit to 16-13 and then 17-14 on kills from Bars and Stroup.ย
ย
A UGA service ace kept Ole Miss within three at 19-16 before the Bulldogs replied with five of the next six points to set up match point.ย
ย
The Rebels battled, winning four consecutive points on a Georgia error, blocks from Stroup, Warnell, and Bars, and a kill from Mulkey to again narrow the gap to three at 24-21.ย
A kill from Young ended the run, handing Georgia a 25-21 decision and the victory. She finished with nine kills.ย ย
ย
UP NEXT
The Rebels will get a week off before returning to action. Ole Miss travels to Fayetteville and College Station to face Arkansas Friday and rematch with (RV) Texas A&M Sunday. The A&M match will be televised nationally on the SEC Network, slated for a 3 p.m. first serve.ย
