Hawks Defeat Tigers in SSAC Action
September 18, 2010
Gainesville, Ga- The Shorter Hawks invaded the Tiger Gym tonight for a volleyball match with the Brenau Golden Tigers and came away with a win 25-18, 25-16, 25-17 in SSAC action. Brenau drops to 1-14, 0-2 and Shorter moves to 10-1, 2-1. Sophomore Melissa Thornton led the way for the Tigers, recording nine digs and seven kills.
Junior Alexis Arthur had eight digs and seven kills and Kerry Abernathy also had eight digs to go with 10 assists in the match. Libero Danelle Russell had eight digs and Senior Courtney Frady had five kills. Brenau continued a season-long pattern of playing right with teams, but not getting the big points near the end of the games.
"We were in the right places, but seemed to be playing not to lose instead of playing to win. We are so close to breaking through and our play is outstanding at times- we just aren't able to sustain our effort to the end of the games." said Coach Meredith Franklin.
