Roster

JACKSON, Tenn. – The Christian Brothers University volleyball team (4-10, 0-4 GSC) was defeated by Union (3-10, 1-3 GSC) in four sets on Thursday night at the Fred DeLay Gymnasium. The Lady Buccaneers dropped the first two sets (25-18, 25-18) before they rallied to win the third set, 27-25. The fourth set went to the Bulldogs, 25-17.

KEY PLAYERS

Freshman Ella Schumacher recorded 13 kills for the second-straight match to lead CBU's attack.
Junior Calah Jackson registered 11 points for the Bucs with eight kills and three service aces. She also made a team-high 15 digs to help out on the defensive end.
Senior Sarah Allyn Thornell assisted on 26 kills.
Junior Alma Solis swatted a season-high four total blocks (2 BS/2 BA).

HOW IT HAPPENED

Union went up 9-3 at the beginning of the first set and never let up. Christian Brothers did well to close the gap to five points, 22-17, with a 7-1 run towards the end. Jordan Allen landed three-consecutive kills to get her team back within five points before the Bulldogs finished off set one.
The second set started off with the GSC foes trading points. The separation came when Union scored six unanswered points to go up by seven, 19-12. That gap proved to be insurmountable for the Bucs as the Bulldogs went on to win the second set by the same margin as the first.
The third set was an absolute thriller with the lead being traded back-and-forth throughout. Union was first to earn a set-point at 24-23. A critical block by Thornell and Solis then leveled the score. The Bulldogs reached set-point a second time at 25-24 after an attack error by CBU. Christian Brothers withstood the pressure and picked up the next three points to win the set, 27-25. A kill from Jackson forced the fourth set to be played.
Union rushed out to a 17-7 lead in the final set to make a comeback for the Bucs highly unlikely. Nevertheless, CBU strung together an 8-2 run towards the end to shrink the deficit considerably. Schumacher smashed three kills during the stretch that brought the Bucs back within five, 23-17. The Bulldogs then concluded the match with a pair of kills.
