RALEIGH, N.C. – The Bridgewater College volleyball team traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina for a nonconference tri-match featuring Brevard and Meredith on Saturday.
 
The Eagles picked up a pair of victories, defeating Brevard, 3-1, before capping the day with a 3-0 sweep against Meredith.
 
Match One:
Final Score: Bridgewater 3, Brevard 1 (25-27, 25-15, 25-20)
Records: Bridgewater 4-3; Brevard 2-3
 
How it Happened:
  • The two sides exchanged the first seven points of the match before the Eagles rallied for five of the next six points to take an 8-5 advantage in the opening set.  The Tornados responded by doing the same and tying the set at 11-11 and eventually went ahead 13-12.
  • Brevard continued to hold an edge through the set before forcing a Bridgewater timeout up 19-16. The timeout was successful as the Eagles scored four of the next five points to draw the set even at 20-20. Neither side could still find a distinct advantage before Brevard won the last two points of the set to take it, 27-25.
  • The second set was a different story as Bridgewater dominated early on jumping out to a 9-4 lead to force a Tornado timeout. A Rachael Meyers kill followed by an attack error from Brevard pushed the set score to 11-4. Four of the next five points went to Bridgewater to go ahead 15-5. The two sides alternated points before another lengthy run of points pushed the game score to 20-7. Despite earning eight of the next 12 points, the Eagles pulled away for a 25-15 set win to tie the match.
  • Once again, the Eagles opened the set fast with 13 of the first 16 points to go up 13-3. The Tornados responded by shortening the lead down to 16-10, and then gained five of the next eight points to force a Bridgewater timeout. Coming out of the stoppage, the Eagles went on a four-point run and took advantage of a pair of attack errors from the Tornados before eventually taking the set 25-20.
  • Kylie Robinson capped a run of four of the first five set points in the fourth game for the Eagles before Brevard took each of the next three to tie the set early on. Bridgewater worked out a 10-7 lead, but Brevard took back the lead, 13-12, as the sides alternated scores. BC worked the score back out to 19-16 to force a Brevard timeout and then won six of the final nine points to walk away with a 25-19 set win and a 3-1 match victory.

  • The second set started out much of the same as the Eagles jumped ahead 6-2 capped by an Ann-Marie Johnson kill. The Avenging Angels battled back to tie the set at 9-9 as the two sides alternated scores. The Eagles ran the score to 16-11 to force a timeout. Meredith was able to cut the score down to a two-point deficit, but the Eagles scored four of the next five points to take a 21-16 lead. BC continued to control the set and eventually won 25-19.
  • No team found a clear advantage in play early on in the final set as neither team could find more than a three-point lead until the Eagles jumped ahead 12-7 off an O'Grady kill. Meredith responded by tallying four of the next five points and cutting down the lead to 13-11. The Eagles went on a scoring run to take a 19-13 lead to force a timeout from the home team.
