MEMPHIS, Tenn. – In spite of many outstanding performances in their final game of the season at the SCAC Tournament, the Millsaps volleyball team fell to Oglethorpe University 3-2 on Saturday by scores of 25-23, 21-25, 25-19, 15-25 and 10-25.
For sophomore outside hitter Kate Hall, who on Friday was named to the All-SCAC Third Team, she showed exactly why she earned her place by having one of her more dominate performances of the season. Hall had a season-high 21 kills to go along with one solo block, two digs and three service aces.
Maggie Tumminello wrapped up a stellar freshman campaign with 12 kills, five digs and four service aces. Toni Manley wrapped up her career as a Major with six kills, one ace, two digs and four blocks, while Victoria Romano had five kills. Sophomore setter Hailey Miranda rounded out the contributions offensively with her 36 assists and five digs.
Sarah Exley and Dixie Krauss both led the team on the defensive side of things, as they were both able to notch nine digs apiece.
Even though the Majors season didn't end the way that they had wanted, at 15-24 overall, there are a lot of positives to be taken out of this year's performance. With a core group of very hungry players returning next year, expect big things for this team in 2009.
