Tritons Dominate Choctaws in South Region Crossover Opener

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Eckerd volleyball team opened play at the annual South Region Crossover with a flourish, dominating Mississippi College of the Gulf South Conference in straight sets on Friday afternoon.

HOW IT ENDED
Final: Eckerd 3, Mississippi College 0 (25-18, 25-18, 25-19)
Records: Eckerd 10-11; Mississippi College 7-19

KEY MOMENTS
  • Eckerd took command of the first set after an early run of seven straight points resulted in a 9-4 lead.  The Tritons continued to hold the Choctaws at bay, and a four-point run later in the set extended the lead to 21-12.  Mississippi College won five of the next six rallies but it proved to be too little as EC closed the set with kills from Abbie O'Ferrell and Paula Hoffmann for a 25-18 win.
  • The Tritons again jumped ahead early in set two, winning points on eight of nine rallies for a 10-4 lead.  The Choctaws closed the gap to three points on several occasions before two Sarah Johnshoy kills began a four-point run and built a 22-15 lead.  EC soon finished the set win after a pair of Mississippi College errors.
  • Four errors by the Choctaws over a series of five rallies helped Eckerd to a 13-8 lead in the third set.  The Tritons maintained a sizable lead for the remainder of the set, going ahead by as many as seven points.  Mississippi College pulled within four points late but got no closer, and two Johnshoy kills capped the set and the 3-0 victory.

  • The Tritons are 9-1 in their last 10 matches at the South Region Crossover while facing competition from the Gulf South Conference.
