49ers Pick Up Non-Conference Win over Liberty
Nov. 1, 2005
Charlotte, N.C. - Senior Abbey Szlanfucht had 20 kills and 19 digs, pacing five players with double-figure kill totals to lead the Charlotte volleyball team past Liberty on Tuesday night at Halton Arena. The 49ers doused the Flames 30-26, 30-26, 28-30 and 30-28.
Szlanfucht led all players with 20 kills, while Lisa Newell (16), Cori Dayton (13), Jessica Oldenburg (11) and Lynae Mulder (10) also notched double-digit kill totals.
Mulder tied her career high with 10 kills, doing it on remarkably efficient .571 hitting. She did not make a hitting error until late in the third game. Lyane also added two blocks, including one solo.
Dayton added 12 digs for her first double-double of the season, as Charlotte improved to 16-13 overall with their ninth non-conference win of the year.
Setter Eden Ramos had 61 assists, while freshmen Courtney Cowles and Kelly Schmidt each picked up a pair of service aces.
Liberty (8-18) was led by Autum Poorman, who had 15 kills on .500 hitting, adding six block assists.
The Flames won the third game, 30-28, thanks in part to 11 hitting errors by the Niners. Six of those came off Liberty blocks.
Tuesday night's match was the first of three this week for the Niners, who host a pair of Atlantic 10 Conference matches Thursday and Friday night.
Thursday night's match versus George Washington is the team's annual Dig for the Cure match, helping raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Friday night's match against Fordham is senior night and will mark the final home match for Szlanfucht, Newell and Robin Joseph. It could also be a key match in the Atlantic 10 Tournament race, as the Rams trail the 49ers by just one game in the loss column in the East Division standings.
