NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee State volleyball team fell to 0-6 in the league with its loss to Jacksonville State on night two of the weekend series in Kean Hall.
 
Running an offense new to the team because of an injured Sofia Garcia Guerrios, Kristian Marshall facilitated 25 assists and dug up 11 balls for the first double-double of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

SET TWO
  • JSU held a 6-5 lead over the Tigers before errors at the net pushed the Gamecocks over the scoring battle hump and into cruise control, headed towards a set two victory.
  • An Aria Holmes and Mion Weldon block ended a small run that JSU answered with its own six-point offensive effort.
  • Down 24-15, the Tigers pushed for three-straight points before a service error closed set two, 25-18.
 
SET THREE
  • Alondrah Santana Rodriquez and Kendall Bullock put down three balls a piece to help the Tigers on the way to a 15-10, five point deficit.
  • Late in the match Aria Holmes and Kendall Bullock laid JSU's defenders across the court as the two registered kill after kill helping TSU stay in the fight, 22-16.
  • Forced to move the ball around, JSU distributed the ball to every attacker across the net until match point – executed by Courtney Glotzback.
