Fast Start Fades as Trojans Fall in Four Sets at Converse

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The University of Mount Olive women's volleyball team opened with a dominant first-set victory before unbeaten Converse rallied for a 3-1 Conference Carolinas win Saturday afternoon inside Tom & Tracy Hannah Gymnasium.

The Trojans (7-9, 3-5 CC) claimed the opening frame 25-18 behind a .293 hitting percentage and six kills from Olivia Melvin before the Valkyries (9-6, 8-0 CC) answered by taking the next three sets, 25-17, 25-15, and 25-18.

Melvin paced all players with 14 kills while adding 13 digs for her latest double-double of the season. Kaitlyn Landis finished with 13 kills on a .281 hitting percentage, and Bayli Bryan contributed seven kills while attacking at a team-best .385 clip.

Lyndsay Reid directed the offense with 37 assists while adding 15 digs, and libero Kacey Gore anchored the back row with a match-high 25 digs.

Mount Olive seized momentum early, using a 10-2 run midway through the first set to build a commanding lead before closing out the opener. Converse responded with a 19-10 run after trailing 11-10 in the second set to even the match, then carried that momentum into the final two frames behind an efficient offensive attack that hit .452 in the third set and .439 in the fourth.

The Trojans finished with 50 kills and 81 digs but were unable to overcome Converse's .287 team hitting percentage and 8-2 advantage in total blocks.

Mount Olive will have a five-game home stretch beginning with the Ferrum Panthers on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Kornegay Arena.
