ANDERSON, S.C. -- The junior tandem of Jamie Lancaster and Adria Mullaney posted double-digit kills and teammate Lindsay Doggett handed out an impressive 35 assists, but it wasnt quite enough as Limestone outlasted Anderson, 3-0 (29-27, 25-19, 25-13) in Conference Carolinas volleyball Tuesday night at the Abney Athletic Center. The Trojans, who were defending their home court for the first time in more than two weeks after enduring a seven-match road swing, grabbed an early 6-1 lead, forcing Limestone head coach Tim Loesch to call timeout. Anderson (6-5, 1-1 Conference Carolinas) built its' lead to five at 8-3 on an emphatic kill by Mullaney, but the Lady Saints crawled back into the set with an 8-4 run of its own, before freshman Paulette Rivers took over for the Trojans' offense, scoring two of AU's next three points. Limestone (6-6, 2-0 Conference Carolinas) pulled even at 18-18, for the first of five tie scores over the next several minutes as the two teams battled on even terms. Neither squad was able to build more than a two-point advantage, as the Lady Saints garnered the narrow, 29-27, victory in the opening frame. With the score knotted at 6-6 in the second set, LC scored six of the next seven points en route to building a six-point cushion, but the Trojans refused to go away and climbed within one point midway through the set, but was unable to get any closer as the Lady Saints held on for a 25-19 win. AU committed some unforced errors in the third set, allowing Limestone to gain the early lead and capture the match. "We need to show up and be ready to play with more heart," Anderson head coach Craig Mosqueta said. "Losing Adria was a big factor but we need people to step up." Rivers recorded a stellar .429 hitting percentage on the night, while Lancaster knocked down a team-high 12 kills and Mullaney notched 11 kills despite suffering an injury in the second set. Doggett posted a match-high 35 assists. Anderson returns to action with a two-match conference road swing, beginning at conference preseason favorite Pfeiffer on Friday with first-serve scheduled for 7 p.m. The trip concludes with the Trojans visiting Queens on Saturday at 2 p.m.
