Video: Harper's Incredible Under-The-Net Save
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The strangest volleyball play arguably in Holt Fieldhouse's history comes in at number four on the New Year's Countdown.
Rachel Harper (Chattanooga, Tenn.) ducked under the net to play a ball back in a 3-2 loss to rival LMU. Lauren Santarelli's (Colorado Springs, Colo.) first ball flew over the net, but outside the antennas. Harper scooted over to LMU's side to make the over-the-shoulder save before Kristen Pickett (Cleveland, Tenn.) gave a free ball back to the Railsplitters to keep the point rolling.
Emily Schultz gave the point to the Eagles with a kill from the right side.
The play was featured on ESPN, Deadspin, AVCA, and the NCAA for its incredible nature.
