To finish the regular season, the Concord Volleyball team put on a good performance, but came up short at the end. Shepherd came into the game tied for second place with a 12-4 record in the WVIAC, but Concord gave them a scare and almost gave the Rams their fifth loss.
Ideally, you want to get a win on Senior Day. If that does not happen, the next best thing to do is to play with heart, and that’s what Concord did at the Carter Center today.
Concord started the first set on fire and a costly 4 hit error by the Rams gave the Mountain Lions the victory along with confidence.
Both our seniors for today ended their career on a memorable note. Kelley Newberry ended the match tied for second on the team in digs with 18, and Megan Epperley finished with 8 digs herself.
Amber Miller led the team in kills (16) and digs (24). Close behind, Kayla Martin had 15 kills, while Emily Wilson also had a big day for the Mountain Lions with 10 kills and 16 digs.
The Volleyball team used that confidence the whole match and it came down to the fifth set, which ended up belonging to the Rams.
The final line score of the game was: (29-27) (16-25) (25-18) (19-25) (8-15).
And once again, congratulations to our seniors: Megan Epperley and Kelly Newberry, on a successful career here at Concord University, as a student and an athlete.
