However, Greensboro was able to hold on to win the fourth set by a 25-23 score to secure the victory.

Alicia Artis had a team-high eight kills in the win while Natalie Rosinski posted seven kills.

“I am extremely proud of the way we played today,” Head Coach Kevin Troup said. “We worked really hard this week on minimizing our hitting errors a I think we were able to do that for the most part today.

“Defensively we were really scrappy. We touched a lot of balls on our block and made several hustle plays in both matches.”

The Pride will return to action Wednesday when they travel to Mary Baldwin University to open USA South Athletic Conference play. For more information on Greensboro College volleyball, continue to follow www.greensborocollegesports.com.
