#MustangsWin! CBC Fights Past Jarvis Christian For First Win of the Season

            Conway, Ark. – Coming off a hard five-set loss to Philander Smith on Tuesday, Central Baptist College volleyball was on the floor of Reddin Fieldhouse for the first time this season, hosting the Bulldogs of Jarvis Christian. CBC (1-2) withstood a fight from JCC (0-9), losing just the third set in a 3-1 win by scores of 26-24, 25-17, 22-25 and 26-24.

            Presley Hamric paced the Mustangs with 19 kills while Molly Murphy had 29 assists and Mikayla Lawrence had 26 digs. Kenzie Hanks and Kylee Sabella also added to the kill fest with 13 apiece while Kailee Walker chipped in with 11 assists and Murphy posted her second straight double-double with 11 digs while Riley Straka added 13. CBC had 60 kills and hit .231 while JCC hit .175 and had 43 kills.

            CBC raced out to a 22-14 lead in set one before JCC rallied off 10 straight points to lead 24-22. A kill by Reaven Seymore cut the deficit to 24-23 and back-to-back kills from Hanks put CBC back in the lead before a service ace from Sabella gave the Mustangs set one.

            Set two was all CBC as they never trailed. JCC never trailed in set three and set up some drama in the fourth set. CBC got down 22-18 late in the fourth set before the Bulldogs committed a serve error and a pair of attacking errors to make it 22-21. A Murphy ace and a kill by Hamric made it 23-22 Mustangs before a serve error tied the score. JCC would retake the lead on an ace before a pair of Kylah Shumate kills and a kill from Sabella ended the match in favor of the Mustangs.

            CBC will take several days off now before returning to the court on Tuesday night for a match at Crowley's Ridge.
