AIKEN, S.C.--The USC Aiken Lady Pacers
(6-1) got solid contributions from a number of players in blanking Fayetteville
State (0-4) 3-0 in the first match of Saturday’s morning session
of the 2004 USC Aiken Volleyball Tournament. Game scores were 30-14,
30-15, and 30-20.
Senior Jenny Lloyd tallied 16 kills, one of four Lady Pacers in double figures.
Freshmen Veronica Seidle and Missy Deardorff along with sophomore Laura Williams
each added 10 kills. Seidle posted double figures in digs as well with a match-high
10 while Williams hit a match-best .562. Lloyd added five service aces and nine
digs in totaling 21.0 points.
As a team, the Lady Pacers registered a season-high 14 service aces and hit .375
for the match. Fayetteville State managed only a .024 hitting percentage and
one ace.
Jennifer Eckman and Shinicka Spears each had five kills to pace the Lady Broncos.
Eckman chipped in a team-best eight digs while Tammy McFadden recorded three
blocks.
Leading 12-8 in game one, the Lady Pacers took command with a 13-1 run to surge
ahead 24-9 keyed by five kills from Williams and three kills and a pair of aces
by Lloyd. Seidle and Deardorff then registered two kills each as USCA won 30-14.
In game two, Fayetteville State again kept it competitive through the early stages
until another decisive Lady Pacer run. This time it came with the score 15-10
and was of the 7-0 variety. Deardorff provided the firepower with three kills,
but all the points, including a pair of aces, came on the serve of sophomore
Brandy Johnson. She finished with three aces, tying senior Jessica Lane’s
match total for second behind Lloyd’s. Leading 22-11, USCA closed out game
two 30-15.
After an early 2-0 lead by FSU, the Lady Pacers regained control but were not
able to break open a significant mid-game run. Leading 21-19, a Williams’ kill
ignited a 9-1 run to close the match with a 30-20 USCA win. Williams had
four kills during the span.
USC Aiken will play in the final match of the tournament at 5:30 PM in a rare
