BRAVES HAND LIMESTONE 3-1 LOSS

PEMBROKE, N.C. – It was freshman Tiara Anderson leading the Braves on offense with 10 kills on senior night at the English E. Jones Center as UNCP defeated Limestone, 3-1 (30-25, 30-15, 24-30, 30-8), in non-conference volleyball action on Wednesday.

UNCP (16-12) hit .206 as a team while tallying 55 kills on the night. Limestone (12-14) could not stop the balanced Braves’ attack and could not get their own offense off the ground hitting for a .049 mark as a team.

UNCP’s Heather Fierce led all players with 47 assists while also tallying 18 digs. However, Andrea Laza finished the night with 22 digs for the Braves at libero with Limestone’s Chelsea Anthony totaling 21.

Limestone was led on offense by Melissa Thomas who finished the night with eight kills. Setter Laura Kerrison earned 23 assists for the Saints while Ashley Hubbard, Sam Flannery and Lynn Milam each recorded three blocks.

Causseaux led the Braves in blocks with three on the night.

The Braves will next be in action when they travel to down to Savannah, Ga. to take on Armstrong Atlantic in Peach Belt Conference-play on Friday night on the campus of the Pirates. AASU won a 3-0 decision against Pembroke earlier this season on Sept. 29 at the Jones Center. The Saints will travel to Mount Olive on Friday to take on the Spartans at 6:30 p.m.
