Newberry, S.C. – The Carson-Newman College Volleyball Team (13-7, 7-3 SAC) jumped on Newberry College (15-11, 5-6 SAC) early and didn’t look back as the Lady Eagles prevailed by a 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-22) score Saturday afternoon at Eleazer Arena in South Atlantic Conference action.

C-N was victorious in the first set behind two five-point serving runs by freshmen Angelle Hayes (Brentwood, Tenn.) and MacKenzie Tyree (Daleville, Va.) as the Lady Eagles hit .333 (13-2-33) for the frame.

Newberry played C-N closer in the third and final frame than it had the entire match. Senior Jessica Schachleiter (Cincinnati, Ohio) led the Lady Eagles with five kills in the set while the team tallied four blocks en route to the victory.

Schachleiter led C-N offensively as she tallied a match-high 11 kills in an errorless performance (11-0-24) and added 18 digs to complete the double-double to go along with four blocks as well. Senior Katie Troyer (Plain City, Ohio) and junior Carly Mozgai (Greensboro, N.C.) each recorded 10 kills.
