CARLINVILLE — The Blackburn College volleyball squad faced off Friday at Dawes Gymnasium against the Mississippi University for Women (MUW).

After losing the opening match 22-25 to MUW, the Beavers clawed back to back-to-back wins in the second and third matches. Blackburn won those matches 25-19 and 25-18.

However, the Owls proved to be too much in the penultimate and final matches in this meeting, winning 3 matches to 2. MUW’s two consecutive wins were 25-17 and 20-18 in those respective matches.

The Beavers combined for 54 kills and 29 errors in 183 attempts. Cara Pence led Blackburn with 17 kills, followed by Jessica Muckensturm’s 13. Madison Watret led the team with an impressive 23 digs, followed by Holly Heuerman’s 19 digs. Freshman Tessa Funderburk led the team with 40 assists.

MUW combined for 52 kills, making only 18 errors in 185 attempts.

The Beavers (5-12,0-4 SLIAC) will resume play on October 3 against Principia in their fifth SLIAC game of the season in hopes of picking up their first conference win.
