Box Score MEMPHIS—The Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs swept visiting Valdosta State in three nip-and-tuck sets in their final GSC home match of the season.

A first set with 14 ties and four lead changes set the tone for the day, with neither team leading by more than four points as the Lady Bucs (23-7, 9-3 GSC) scored six of the last nine points after a 19-all tie.  In the next two sets, neither team would build even a four-point lead.  The Lady Bucs rallied from a 24-23 deficit in the second set to win 27-25, and after allowing the Blazers (14-16, 4-8) to rally from a 24-22 deficit to tie at 24 in the third set, the Lady Bucs scored the last two points for the win.

Kelsey Miles (Cordova, Tenn./St. Benedict HS) collected 43 assists to pace the offense, many of them to Hannah Kurtz (Memphis, Tenn./St. Benedict HS), who pounded 16 kills and hit .400.  Hailey Gillis (Corpus Christi, Texas/Carroll HS) added nine kills, while Kelly Nolan (St. Louis, Mo./Rosati-Kain HS) celebrated her Senior Day with eight kills and 12 digs.  Corinne Doder (St. Louis, Mo./Cor Jesu Academy) led the defense with a match-best 19 digs. Kaitlin Keathley (Henderson, Nev./Silverado HS) matched the Lady Bucs' season-high with seven blocks.

Chelsea Logan paced the Blazers with 13 digs, and Tania Tauliliili added 11.  Ashley Lala posted team-highs of 37 assists and 14 digs.

Before the match, the Lady Bucs honored two seniors, Nolan and Logan Westphal (Herndon, Va./Herndon HS).

The Lady Bucs complete their home schedule Tuesday night at 7 p.m. when they host Harding.  They finish the regular season next weekend as they visit West Alabama Friday night at 7 p.m. and Alabama-Huntsville Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m.
