ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. - Shenandoah University ran into an inspired NC Wesleyan volleyball team Friday night and it resulted in a 3-0 USA South Conference victory for the Lady Bishops.
Playing before a Senior Night crowd, NCWC (11-17, 2-10) downed the Hornets 30-23, 30-12, 30-22 and drew even with SU in league standings in the process.
Shenandoah (13-12, 2-10) faces last place Peace and fifth place Methodist tomorrow while the Lady Bishops host fourth place Ferrum in addition to a match against Peace. To earn the sixth seed at next week's USA South Conference Tournament, SU needs a win over Methodist tomorrow and for Wesleyan to not defeat Ferrum. If either of those situations does not happen, NCWC will earn the No. 6 seed regardless of outcome of the other matches.
In Friday's match, the Lady Bishops earned a split of the season series between the two schools behind a 20 kill performance from Brittany Insley and 11 kills from Sydney Bens.
