Box Score

PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Lipscomb University Volleyball team (12-5, 5-2 ASUN) wrapped up the first half of the Atlantic Sun Conference schedule with a three-set loss to the University of West Florida (12-3, 4-1) by set scores of 23-25, 20-25, 23-25 to end the Bisons' five-match win streak on Sunday afternoon at the UWF Field House.

HOW IT HAPPENED
West Florida opened the first set with three straight points, but the Bisons worked back from an 8-6 deficit as a Sydney Strenger kill tied it at 8-8 and an Anna Claire Brown kill put the Bisons in front 9-8. The Bisons later moved ahead 16-13 before West Florida scored five straight points, including a Madison Joyner ace, to take an 18-16 lead.

Brown answered with four consecutive kills, and seven in the first set, to push the Bisons back ahead 20-18, but West Florida tied the set at 20-20 and the teams traded points to 23-23. West Florida reached set point on a Bisons service error and closed the set 25-23 on a Kumara Flanagain kill.

The Bisons built an early 8-4 lead in the second set, getting kills from Brooklyn Fuchs and Strenger while West Florida committed several attack and service errors. West Florida worked back behind a Madalyn Mire ace, two Flanagain kills and a Camryn Brooks ace, moving in front 14-12 before stretching the advantage to 20-15 on a Delaney Hanowell kill.

Ella Durham's kill and Kelsey Schenck's ace started a late Bisons push, and after a West Florida point, a service error and Brown's kill pulled the Bisons within 21-19. West Florida answered with two straight points, reached set point on Emily Breazeale's kill and closed the set 25-20 on another Breazeale kill.

In the third, Fuchs helped the Bisons turn an early 3-2 deficit into a 6-3 lead with consecutive kills, and Durham capped the four-point service stretch with an ace. West Florida answered by tying the set at 7-7 on Elizabeth Kwiatkowski's ace, moved ahead 11-8 behind a Bisons attack error and kills from Aniston Cochran and Talya Sampson, and later reached 17-11 after consecutive Bisons attack errors.

The Bisons cut into the gap after West Florida led 22-17, getting Brown kill during a push that made it 23-21, but Flanagain's kill put West Florida at set point. Brown answered with a kill and a block assist on Breazeale's attack error to bring the Bisons within 24-23, before Flanagain closed the set for West Florida, 25-23.

HERD NOTES
With the first half of the ASUN play in the books, the Bisons sit in second place in the ASUN with a 5-2 mark.

West Florida, in its first year as a member of the ASUN and in Division I, is heading into the second half of the ASUN schedule on top of the standings with a 4-1 mark, but had to postpone two of its matches against Jacksonville and North Florida last weekend due to Hurricane Isaias. As of the date of this release, the rescheduled dates for those matches have not yet been announced.

KEY STATISTICS
Despite the setback, the Bisons posted a .248 attack percentage on the afternoon, marking the highest by an Argo opponent this season. The team entered the weekend with an opponent hitting percentage of .144.

Anna Claire Brown led all attackers with 12 kills and a .333 attack percentage. She also added five digs and a block.

Madyson McCarthy added 11.5 points after 10 digs and two total blocks.

Grace Jones tallied 12 digs, while Kelsey Schenck added 33 assists and 11 digs.

UP NEXT
LUV will play five of the final seven matches of the ASUN schedule at home, starting with Florida Gulf Coast on Friday night at 6 p.m. inside Allen Arena.
