Tigerville, SC- The North Greenville University Trailblazers continued to spread their conference dominance in a tough 3-2 victory against the Emmanuel University Lions at Hayes Gymnasium.

The match was a game of back-and-forth play. Emmanuel came out hot in the first set, winning 25-12. Then, the Trailblazers came back in the second set, winning 25-22. In the third set, Emmanuel pressed hard from the beginning, winning 25-11. Refusing to back down, the Trailblazers forced a fifth set, winning the fourth set 25-21. In a very close fifth set, the Trailblazers won 16-14. 

Junior Samantha Ball had an exceptional day, leading the game with 17 kills and recording 19 digs. Sophomore Peyton Taylor led the Trailblazers with 3 service aces, as well as recorded 11 kills, 3 blocks, and 20 digs. Freshman Elise Smith had the highest hitting % of 0.500.

From Head Coach Greg Mosely: 
"The girls' performance today was awesome. We came out a little flat, but we worked through it. We lost two sets big, and we came back and seemed to match up well with them [Emmanuel] with our serve-receive lineup. I'm just so proud of them. We needed that win; we've been working for it. It's just a great job, what they did. I'm very proud of them." 

 Next, the Trailblazers will be back in Hayes Gymnasium on Tuesday, October 28th to play the Converse University Valkyries at 7 p.m.
