Schreiner volleyball rallies, can’t close out Southwestern in five-set thriller
It was Schreiner’s seventh consecutive loss, but the Mountaineers are now 0-5 in the SCAC.
Despite an epic fourth-set rally, Schreiner University fell in a five-set volleyball thriller to visiting Southwestern in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference matchup Thursday night.
Behind libero Jenna Palomarez’s serves, the Mountaineers saved six match points to tie the fourth set 24-24. The two teams traded points until sophomore middle Emma Frye knocked down two kills to give Schreiner a thrilling comeback win and force a fifth game, 31-29.
However, the Mountaineers got behind early in the race to 15 points in that fifth set, falling 15-8. It was Schreiner’s seventh consecutive loss, but the Mountaineers are now 0-5 in the SCAC.
Gianna Hilliard led Schreiner with 13 kills, and nine other Schreiner players recorded kills in the epic back-and-forth between the two teams. Setter Gaby Torrez had 30 assists, while teammate Harlie Gallaspy added 18.
Palomarez had 31 digs and had all four of Schreiner’s service aces. The Mountaineers return to action at Huston-Tillotson on Wednesday.
