Waleska, GA- Seniors Maida Smajic and Audra VanArsdale set school records tonight in a comeback win for the Golden Tigers volleyball team over former conference nemesis Reinhardt College.  Smajic broke the record for digs with 41 as she also collected 23 receptions, and VanArsdale broke her own assists record, recording 60 while also getting 19 digs.  Reinhardt won the first two games 25-15 and 26-24 before Brenau stormed back to win games three and four 25-16 and 26-24 respectively.
The Tigers moved their season record to 22-9 while the Eagles dropped to 10-18 on the year.   Karen Green had another big outing with 26 kills, 25 receptions and 20 digs.  Kelsey Aley had 11 blocks and Melissa Thornton had 13 kills and 13 digs.  "Our communication improved greatly after the first two games and we started playing the scrappy style of team defense that has led us all year," said Coach Meredith Matthews.  Brenau will close out the regular season with home matches Friday and Saturday against conference foes Brewton Parker and Shorter, with Friday's match being set aside as Senior Night.
