The ULM volleyball team took on Georgia Southern Friday night at the Fant-Ewing Coliseum. They played four exciting sets but ended up losing 3-1 (17-25, 25-16, 25-18, 25-21) in conference play.
ULM started out strong, winning the first set.
Hadley Swartz led the Warhawks with a double-digit kill performance, putting up 17 kills during the match. Swartz also had 12 digs.
“We came out of the locker room with good energy. We came out with that intensity, it lasted throughout the match,” Swartz said.
The next two sets were close. In an exciting fourth set, the Warhawks mounted an attack to come back, but they lost their lead in the end.
“Set one we came out very high energy and we jumped on them early and we did the things that we had talked about all week, the things we knew we needed to do to beat this team,” Coach Patrick Hiltz said.
Junior Kimberlie Alvarado placed second on the team in offense with 11 kills. Senior Marcela Araya led the team on defense with 15 digs.
