9/8/2017 2:54:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Middle Tennessee volleyball team clinched their first team win of the season over Troy on Friday afternoon at the Comfort Inn-vitational.
Junior Regan Coughlin exploded for a season-high 16 kills and seven digs to pace the team to a, 3-1, victory over Troy.
The Blue Raiders mounted a late run to take the first set, 27-25, over the Trojans. Middle Tennessee repeated their performance in the second frame to take the second set, 27-25, before dropping the third frame, 21-25, to the Trojans. In the fourth and final frame, MT responded to clench their first season win over Troy, 25-19.
Defensively, sophomore libero Brienna Tankesley led the team in digs recording 14 of the teams 54 total digs.
Freshman Josie Maxim recorded a career-high 11 blocks over the Trojans as the Blue Raiders earned a 11 edge in blocks (16-5). Likewise, junior Makila York tallied 10 kills and six blocks during the match.
While not making her usual defensive impact at the net, sophomore Dora Peonia made an impact netting eight kills and 13 digs for the Blue Raiders.
At the setter spot, sophomore Taylor Hammill recorded a career-high 38 assists to go with three kills and a block.
Quotable
" I felt that the girls are starting to understand what it means to works as a Division I team should work. It's been a process that started back in the spring to change the culture and change our mentality. This win is nothing more than the girls binding to the culture and starting to live our culture and I could not be more proud". – Head Coach, Chuck Crawford
"Coming out and getting our first team win feels fantastic. We are finally working as one cohesive unit – there was drive, there was passion, there was fight – and you could tell in every single persons eyes that we all wanted it and we were all going to fight for the win and we were not going to give up until we got it. It is a great, great feeling and I think it will spark something within us even more than what just happened against Troy". - Junior, Regan Coughlin
Up Next
The Blue Raiders will have a fast turnaround as they take on South Carolina State in the Wetherby Gym at 3:30 p.m., this afternoon.
