JACKSON – In
another classic confrontation between two cross-street rivals,
the Blazers of Belhaven College rained on the festivities of
the
Majors,
winning a 3-2 match on Senior Night by scores of 25-27,
25-23, 19-25, 25-19 and 10-15.
Before the
intense match between the two rivals started, the volleyball
team honored its two graduating seniors in Toni
Manley and Sarah
Exley who have both contributed invaluably to the team for
the four years
they
were in uniform.
The pair also
had a stellar game in one of their last appearances in the Hangar
Dome, with Manley contributing eight
kills and four blocks and classmate Exley notching six kills
and five aces. Exley started the night off right for the
team, recording the
first
kill in the first set.
Kate
Hall and Maggie Tumminello both had solid offensive showings
with 11 kills apiece, while Dixie
Krauss and Erica Cook led the
way defensively with 14 digs apiece. Rounding out the contributions
for the Majors
was sophomore Hailey Miranda with 37 assists and 10 kills.
Millsaps will
wrap up its regular season home game schedule tomorrow with an
11 a.m. match against Huntingdon College.
