BUF splits Friday and Saturday matches, setting records along the way

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Graceville FL- Friday, BUF played against Crowley's Ridge College, an NAIA school from Arkansas. The game had an early start time as CRC was playing later that evening in Pensacola. In the first set, the score was tied just once (10-10).  BUF was down early and rallied to tighten the score but could not get over the hump, as CRC would respond each time. The Eagles were able to cut the lead to 1 at 15-16, but CRC went on a 9-3 run to close the set, winning 25-18. In the second set, Crowley's built on their momentum, leading 8-1 to begin the game and ultimately winning 25-11. In the third set, BUF was able to lead for the first time on Friday. The Eagles started up 3-1 and were leading 13-12. The set was tied at 17 all before CRC was able to close out the Eagles winning 25-19 and three sets to none. The Eagles would look to rebound from this performance the following day. Despite the loss, however, there were a few positives. Szonja Csabai moved into 1st place in total service aces across NCCAA Division II with 40. Nevaeh Peery had 29 assists, giving her the 3rd most assists in a three-set match in the NCCAA this season.

The Lady Eagles took the second set 25-13. In the third set, TCJ jumped out to a 4-1 lead, but BUF quickly had it tied 4-4 and after a few ties and lead changes was ahead 15-10. The Eagles went on to win the third set 25-16 to sweep the match. BUF set individual three-set game records in this game, Barbara Demarco had 4 aces, tying her for 3rd place in NCCAA division II this season.
