Volleyball drops road contest at Cumberland (Tenn.)

LEBANON, Tenn. – UPIKE's struggles continued on Saturday as it fell in straight sets to Cumberland (Tenn.), 3-0 (25-12, 25-20, 25-17).

The Bears couldn't get much going on offense in the first set, totaling just three kills. Pikeville's attack percentage was just .074 for the entire match.

Set two was much more of a back-and-forth affair. UPIKE jumped out to an 8-6 lead before Cumberland went on a 8-1 run. However, Pikeville immediately answered with an 8-2 run to tie the set back up. From there, the Pikeville offense sputtered to let the Phoenix take a two-set lead.

UPIKE's offense became its own worst enemy in the final set with seven kills, but also seven errors. Coupled with Cumberland's most efficient set offensively, and the Bears couldn't pull off a comeback.

Noelani Simpson led the team with seven kills, while Leigh Simpson had 14 assists and Sarah Clark had nine digs and two assists.
