HARROGATE, Tenn.—The road home from Lincoln Memorial (7-11, 3-6 SAC) was a happy one for the Anderson volleyball team (10-4, 5-1 SAC) Oct. 10. After two easy first sets, they won a close third set to win 3-0 (25-18, 25-17, 25-23) This is Andersons’s 17th straight set win.
“It’s great to win on the road but we have to learn how to finish out sets when we have control,” head coach Todd Hay said. “We missed four of our five missed serves late in set three when we needed to play our best.
“This is an area of concern that is hopefully just a one off occurrence. Fortunately, our overall defense held LMU at bay and we were able to come away with the win. I believe this will be a good wake up call for us. You have to earn your victories night in and night out if you want to be a champion.”
