Golden Eagles Drop Final Road Game to LA Tech
11/10/2019 4:17:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
RUSTON, La. -Â The Southern Miss (2-25, 0-12 C-USA) women's volleyball team fell in four sets (22-25, 25-19, 22-25, 21-25) at LA Tech (13-13, 3-9 C-USA) Sunday afternoon. The contest marked the final road trip of the season for the Golden Eagles, who wrap up the regular season with two home games next weekend.Â
Tallying 11 kills each, freshmen Kess Krutsinger and Liana Guillemaud proved to be the offensive outlet for a Southern Miss team that finished the day swinging at a .166 clip. Southern Miss jumped to an 11-point lead in the first set, but LA Tech stormed back to take a late lead over the road team. The Lady Techsters closed out the set on a 14-4 run, claiming the first frame by a 25-22 score.Â
The two C-USA foes traded points throughout the second set, but an Ashley Chapman kill put the Golden Eagles up two, which is all they needed. A Krutsinger solo block sparked a 6-1 run that was finished off by a Guillemaud kill to secure the 25-19 win. Krutsinger's block was one of five blocks that Southern Miss had on the day.Â
With the match tied at one, LA Tech outlasted Southern Miss in a pair of close sets to secure their 13th win of the season. The Golden Eagles finished 0-12 on the road.Â
Junior setter Piper Matsumoto dished out 38 assists, eight digs, seven kills, and a block. Fellow junior Madison Lawler posted a game-high 28 digs with four assists. Chapman added 13 digs and seven kills, while Kellie Garraway finished with 10 digs. Freshman Hallie Phelan came off the bench to record eight kills and two blocks. Kinsley Hanback finished with seven kills and a game-high three blocks.Â
