BOX SCORE
MARTIN, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State volleyball team jumped to an early lead at second-place UT Martin on Monday but the Skyhawks rallied and handed the Gamecocks a 3-2 (18-25, 23-25, 25-15, 25-17, 15-7) loss in Ohio Valley Conference action.
Just two days after facing league-leading Morehead State on the road, the Gamecocks (6-14, 4-6 OVC) had the second-place Skyhawks (12-7, 7-2 OVC) on the ropes. UTM mounted a rally, however, riding 34 digs from national digs leader Kasey Elswick and double-digit kills from five different players to pull off the comeback.
Jax State got 25 of its season-high 102 digs from senior Lauren Harkins from the outside hitter position. A native of Louisville, Ky., and already the school's career digs leader, Harkins moved her career total to 1,957 and passed Eastern Kentucky's Jessica Sabath for ninth place on the OVC's career digs list.
Harkins led a group of four Gamecocks with double figures in digs, one that featured 19 from sophomore Libero Kelly Cole and 18 from junior Hivya Leite. Sophomore Abbey Heredia notched a double-double with 16 digs and 22 assists. Freshman Alina Agamy was one digs shy of a double-double that would've included her 20 assists.
On the Gamecocks' front row, Leite capped a double-double with a match-high 17 kills, while senior Stephanie Koontz pitched in 13 kills and blocked five UTM attacks. Freshman Nicole Merget had a hand on six blocks and recorded eight kills. Junior Jen Meyer also found the floor on eight kills.
Ashley Doherty led UTM on offense with 14 kills on a .323 attack percentage, while Jenna Miller hit .714 for her 10 kills and dished 42 of the team's 56 assists.
JSU returns home this weekend after a four-match road trip for a four-match homestand. The set starts on Friday with a 6 p.m. match against Eastern Illinois and will see the Gamecocks host SIU-Edwardsville at 2 p.m. Saturday. All JSU home matches at Pete Mathews Coliseum are free to the public.
