The Lady Bisons Volleyball program just proved why they were voted 1st in the Atlantic Sun Preseason poll.
Playing in the Atlantic Sun Game of the Week at the Lady Vol Classic against Ohio Valley Conference opponent Tennessee Tech, the Lady Bisons went the distance early, winning the first 3 sets of the match.
“I told the girls after our first match today, that one win is just a win,” said coach Brandon Rosenthal. “I told them we had to put strings of wins together. It’s nice to have a win against such a good opponent.”
The Lady Bisons came out in the first set to win, not letting Tennessee Tech take the lead even once. With an overwhelming amount of kills, the Lipscomb front row quickly shut down the Golden Eagles 25-16.
After falling behind by 2 in the beginning of the second set, the Lady Bisons took control once again. With Erin Pierce and junior transfer Meghan Hinemeyer each pounding 5 kills in the set, the Lady Bisons put together another set victory of 25-17.
Lipscomb was behind Tech only twice in the third set, breaking loose after a 18-18 tie with four straight kills from Hinemeyer. With 18 assists from junior setter Jake Pease, a member of the Atlantic Sun Preseason All Conference Team, the Lady Bisons closed out the match with a set score of 25-22.
