Trojans Top UVA Wise For Tenth-Straight Win

WISE, Va. -- The Trojans earned their tenth straight win on Saturday afternoon after a 3-1 win over UVA Wise (10-9, 4-6 SAC) by scores of 25-19, 21-25, 25-17 and 25-15. The team came up with a season-high 12 blocks while two Trojans put up 16 or more kills as the team came up with 57. Anderson moves to 13-4 and 8-1 in the South Atlantic Conference. 

"We had to play a pretty sound game defensively in order to have a chance," head coach Todd Hay said. "I was proud of our blocking, especially in sets three and four, as it helped set the tone and give us momentum and confidence. This is the largest gym in our region and adapting to the depth is a challenge. Overall, we felt pretty good about how adjusted to it. Winning on the road is always a challenge so we feel blessed to have these two this weekend."

Junior Emily Campbell (Statesville, N.C.) tied her career-high with 17 kills on a .341 clip along with three blocks. 

Sophomore Mia Elder (Leland, N.C.) had her second-straight game with a career-high, this time with seven total blocks. She added 16 kills, one shy of her career-high. She swung .375. 

Freshman Jamie Juhnevicz (Taylors, S.C.) led the defense with a career-high 24 digs. 

Junior Ava Reeves (Lexington, S.C.) added 11 kills with two blocks. Sophomore Maura Kindel (Easley, S.C.) tacked on eight kills with a career-high seven blocks. 

Junior Ellie Nieporte (Boca Raton, Fla.) distributed 48 assists with 14 digs for another double-double. 

The first set was the biggest battle of the day for both sides with 11 tie scores and six lead changes. The Trojans didn't gain control until late when they went on a 9-4 run to be first to 20. 

UVA Wise had control for most of set two, though the Trojans tied things up at 12 but were unable to regain a lead after that.

The Trojans had to work in set three, going down 8-5 early and then again at 15-13 before going on a 12-2 run to close things out. They carried the momentum into the fourth set to finish the win. 

Anderson continues their road stint when they head to conference leaders No. 20 Wingate on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.
