Box Score

The Maryville College volleyball team earned a hard-fought, five-set victory over Covenant College winning the battle of the Scots 3-2 on Thursday evening in MC's Boydson Baird Gymnasium.

 

Maryville secured an early 2-0 lead with 25-23 and 25-23 wins in the first two sets. Covenant stormed back with 25-22 and 25-16 wins to force a final and deciding set.

 

MC's Julie Vineyard deposited a kill from Taylor Youell to make the score 12-12 in the final set. Madison Coker secured the Scots' 13th point before back-to-back kills by Rachel Kozemko gave Maryville the 3-2 home win.

 

The victory continues a 43-match regular season win streak within the USA South that began in the fall of 2012.
