CHESNEE, SC - The Chesnee volleyball team got down early but made an impressive comeback to improve to 2-1 in region play after defeating Greer Middle College in a home region match on Thursday night.
The Eagles went down 0-2 in the match after falling in set one 25-27, in a set that could have gone either way as the two teams were tied at 25-25 before the Blazers picked up the last two points in the set, and in set two fell 20-25. With the match seeming to be going against them, the Chesnee volleyball pulled off an impressive feat as they won three straight sets to capture the match 3-2 on Thursday night. In the third set the Eagles battled back to win 25-22 and in the fourth set was able to tie the match with a strong 25-18 victory. With both teams tied they went to a fifth set where the Eagles, with momentum on their side, had their most dominant victory of the match winning the fifth set 15-6 over the Blazers. "We were down two sets and could have easily folded because we had a rough start," said Chesnee head coach Katie Jolley. "The girls didn't give up though as they fought back in the third set and kept fighting until the end. They showed a lot of grit tonight." Pearl Holloway had an impressive night for the Eagles as she recorded a triple double with 20 kills, 19 assists, and 29 digs on Thursday night. Haley Edmonds also had a strong night as she recorded a double-double of her own with 10 assists and 29 digs while Harley Grady had a great defensive night for the Eagles with 16 digs. Carlee Turner finished second in kills for the team with eight kills while Hayden Roberts added 12 digs and Emma Showen added 10 digs of her own. Chesnee will be back in action next week with two road region games as they travel to Liberty on Tuesday and go to Greenville Tech Charter on Thursday. Comments are closed.
