Tigers Spring Concludes with Loss to Shorter

MONTEVALLO, Ala. – It was a back-and-forth affair in the first round of the Gulf South Conference Spring Championship Series, however the Shorter Lady Hawks edged out the University of West Alabama volleyball team to grab a 3-2 victory Friday evening in Trustmark Arena. 
 
The Tigers spring concludes at 2-8 while Shorter (23-25, 25-23, 20-25, 25-21, 15-10) is now 2-8 overall and is set to face the Montevallo Falcons tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m.
 
"We did some good things this spring," said Head coach Hilary Lobenstein. "We have some adjustments to make and some work to do before the fall, but we look forward to the effort and time we'll put in until then."
 
In the decisive fifth set, the Lady Hawks took the advantage early and were up 13-4 after a kill from Katherine Patrick. West Alabama battled back winning six of the next seven points in the game to lose the gap to 14-10. However, Patrick hit the final kill for Shorter soon after to earn the win for SU.
 
Neither team created much separation from each other in the tight matchup throughout, except for in the third set when UWA was up 19-7 after a service ace from Beatriz Giordan. West Alabama went on to win that game 25-20. 
 
Ally Craig led in kills for the Tigers with 12 while Madison Fisher also reached double digits with 10 kills. Je'Bria Green turned in a solid performance with nine kills to aid the offensive, but also posted a team high seven block assists on the front line. 
 
Desiree Blount posted 25 assists while Lily Jackson continued her emergence as a second setter for the squad with 16 assists.
 
MacKenzie Wells led a quartet of Tigers with double-digit digs as the junior transfer posted 26. Blount added 18 digs while Quiara Dunson finished with 13 and Jackson contributed 12 digs. Ti'Oszalon Hill worked hard on the front line with six block assists 
 
West Alabama turned in 48 kills and 41 errors on 197 total attacks for a .036 attacking percentage. Shorter finished with 52 kills and 37 errors on 193 attacks for a .078 attack percentage.
 
Lacee Glover finished with 18 kills and 18 digs to lead the Lady Hawks. Madison Sprosty added a match high 28 digs and Jade Smith amassed seven block assists and three solo blocks.
