Volleyball Falls in Five Sets in ODAC Opener

WINCHESTER, Va. - The Shenandoah University volleyball team lost 3-2 in a five-set thriller at home on Friday night against Randolph College in SU's first ODAC game of the season.

The Hornets (6-6, 0-1 ODAC) led 2-1 in the match but the WildCats (7-5, 1-1) came back and won the fourth set 25-23 before winning the final set 15-12.

RECAP

Shenandoah used an 8-0 run to take a 10-5 lead in the opening frame. During the run, Brooke Gast had three kills. SU extended its lead out to 16-8, however, Randolph eventually tied it 23-23 and won the set 26-24.

It was a back-and-forth affair early in the second set but a kill and three consecutive aces by Cheyenne Price helped put the Hornets in front 13-8. Randolph then tied it, 13-13, before a string of Regan Minney kills gave SU the lead once again. Kylie Danella gave SU set point before the set was capped off by a WildCat error.

Following a 13-13 tie in the third set, Regan Minney picked up another kill, and three aces from Vanessa Rodriguez gave Shenandoah a 17-15 advantage. The WildCats then crawled back and regained the lead, 21-20, before Shenandoah ended the set on a 5-0 run to go up 2-1 in the match.

In the final two frames, Shenandoah held at least a three-point lead before Randolph flipped the script in each set to win.

Shenandoah had 66 kills in the match which is its most in over 15 years.
