GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Greensboro College volleyball team split a USA South Athletic Conference tri-match at home Saturday.
 
The Pride defeated the Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan to open the day before falling to Salem College in four sets.
 
Against the Bishops, Greensboro got off to a hot start and took the opening set by a score of 25-13 before taking a two-set lead in the match with a 25-11 win in Set 2. However, N.C. Wesleyan was able to send the match into a fourth set, following a 25-23 win, before the Pride put the match away.
 
Hailey Stout and Carly Uhlir combined for 21 kills in the victory while Sarah Egbers posted nine kills. Kayce Jo Harris finished with 20 digs and Dixie Faulk passed for 36 assists.
 
Following their victory over the Bishops, Greensboro dropped the opening set against Salem before rallying back for a 25-14 win in Set 2 to even the match at one set a piece. However, Salem went on to win the match after recording wins in the next two sets.
 
This time it was Uhlir leading the way with 10 kills.
 
"I am really happy with the way that our team played today," Head Coach Kevin Troup said. "Against N.C. Wesleyan, we were able to keep them out of their system and were able to come away with the win.
 
"In our second match, the girls continued to play hard but we just had some calls that did not go our way. We will get back to work and prepare for the final week of our regular season."
 
The Pride will return to action Wednesday when they travel to Averett University. For more information on Greensboro College volleyball, continue to follow www.greensborocollegesports.com.
