Volleyball ACCtion: Friday, November 28
Nov. 28, 2008
Tiger Volleyball Concludes 2008 Regular Season With 3-2 Comeback Win At Georgia Tech ATLANTA - The Clemson volleyball team came back from a 2-0 match deficit to defeat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 3-2 (18-25, 25-27, 25-21, 25-11, 15-6) in O'Keefe Gymnasium on Friday night. It was the final regular season match for the Tigers (22-9, 14-6 ACC) and Jackets (20-10, 12-8 ACC). The match concluded Clemson's regular season play, and the Tigers will await word from the NCAA tournament selection committee about a possible at-large berth. The selection show will air at 10:00 pm (Eastern) on Sunday night on ESPNU. Clemson finished third in the ACC standings after winning the tie-break over Miami, who also tallied a 14-6 conference record in 2008.
Tar Heels Share ACC Championship CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The North Carolina volleyball team trailed just once Friday afternoon in the Tar Heels, 3-0 (25-15, 25-14, 25-16), win over rival NC State that clinched a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship for the Tar Heels. On a day that saw senior Brianna Eskola set the ACC career digs record and four Tar Heels hit better than .400 it was a total team effort that helped Carolina claim its 11th ACC title in school history and will make its 12th NCAA Tournament appearance. The Tar Heels will find out their destination on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 10 p.m. when the selections are announced on ESPNU. A 25-15 opening set win that saw Carolina hit .452 started things off on the right foot for the Tar Heels as four different Tar Heels connected on three kills apiece. The Tar Heels committed just two errors in the set, while holding the Wolfpack to a .114 hitting percentage. Eskola came up with four digs in the set and snapped the one-year old ACC career digs record of 2,200 held by Duke's Jenny Shull (2004-07) and Virginia Tech's Amanda Cloyd (2004-07). Carolina picked up solid serves from Heather Brooks and Aleksandra Georgieva at different points in the set to fuel the big win.
Cavaliers Defeat Hokies on Senior Day CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia volleyball team sent its three seniors out on a high note in Memorial Gymnasium on Friday night, defeating instate rival Virginia Tech, 3-2 (25-21, 25-21, 20-25), in a five-set thriller. Virginia concludes the season with a 17-15 overall record and a 9-11 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while the Hokies finish at 20-11 and 11-9 in the league. “It’s always emotional when you know that it’s your seniors’ last match here,” head coach Lee Maes said. “We were excited to have a fantastic turnout tonight. You know it’s always a good match when you’re playing Virginia Tech. But, it’s most special that our three seniors were able to come out here, play well and finish their career with a win, especially because they’ve given a lot to this program. They’ve been great role models in terms of just being the type of people who are outstanding representatives of great student-athletes here at Virginia.”
