Crowley’s Ridge College hosted the Bearcats of Rust College (Miss.) tonight in their fourth home game of the season. The Lady Pioneers defeated the Bearcats in a sweep winning 3 consecutive sets 25-19, 25-17, and 25-13. With this win the Lady Pioneers improve to 3-1 at home and 3-11 overall.
In the first set of the match there was no definite team that momentum would side with. Rust College would take a 4-1 lead but would be answered by a kill from Sophomore Alexis Weirich. Weirich would be followed by Junior Emi Elms who would provide a big block for Pioneers. This combo would again link up a few points later to end the Rust run with a second big block that allowed Freshman Holy Berry to step behind the service line. Berry would tie the set with the help from a Bearcat error and a service ace, to make it 7-7. The Lady Pioneers would lose the lead as they found themselves in a 13-10 deficit but would rally together three consecutive kills with back to back spikes by Junior Brooklynn Passmore and solo shot from Sophomore Paige Glenn matching the Bearcats 13-13. Rust would look to answer but the Pioneers would find two separate 4-0 runs taking the first set with a block by Sophomore Jadyn Hesse to win, 25-19.
