WALTERBORO, SC. The Salk Squad earned a massive win tonight against Columbia International University's JV team in 5 nail-biting sets.
Winning the first set 25-17, they went into the second set too confident, giving up a 6-point run to a clever CIU libero server, losing that set 19-25. They came back and fought, with the Salk defense on fire earning a third set victory 27-25. Falling in the fourth set 13-25, the Salk women knew they had to pull out all the stops to defeat them in the fifth, and final set.
"As with any fifth set," says Coach Aquino, "the goal is to be the first to 8 points, so we can switch sides and dominate to finish the match."
The Salk Squad did just that, fighting point for point, finishing the set 15-13 and ending the match victorious.
"The rallies were insane," Says Coach Aquino, "we never gave up, never let a ball drop and kept them guessing the entire time."
As a team, Salk Volleyball earned 116 defensive digs with only 7 errors. 98 serve receive passes and only 11 receive errors, and 194 offensive attacks ending in 60 kills.
Salk takes on Denmark Tech next Tuesday for their Pink Out match at home at 6pm
