HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The match against the Greensboro Pride could have swung in Methodist's favor. After trailing 10-2 the Monarchs clawed back into the match, eventually knotting the score at 17-17. Greensboro broke the tie with five unanswered points then soon after reached set point at 24-19. Backs to the wall, the Monarchs put together a six-point run to not only stave off defeat, but to forge ahead, 25-24, serving at their own set point.
  • Greensboro fought off that challenge and did so again at 26-25, then Methodist fought off another set point at 27-26 and again at 28-27 before the Pride scored two straight to break a 28-28 tie and earn the set victory.
  • After Greensboro won the second set, Methodist opened the third set with a 6-0 start and never trailed in holding back defeat, but the Pride trailed only once, at 1-0, in what was a deciding fourth set that earned Greensboro the set and match win.
  • Methodist never really found its footing in the match against William Peace, trailing throughout first- and second-set defeats. The Monarchs started the third set with a change in momentum, pushing ahead 6-5 early on, but a 6-2 Pacers run erased that deficit and led the visitors to a sweep on the match.
MORE TO IT
  • Jeanana Fowler pounded out 15 kills in the match against William Peace to lead Methodist on the attack. Also reaching double figures on the attack with Kendall Craig who slammed down 12 during the match.
  • Craig also was solid at the net on defense, registering three solo blocks and a block assist against the Pride.
