It was a successful senior night inside the Winthrop Coliseum for Winthrop volleyball. The Lady Eagles finished their regular season games with a three-set sweep over High Point University who is number one in the Big South Conference (25-8, 25-20, 25-21).
The four seniors that were honored before to the game all had standout performances. Lou Rosario had 11 kills, 10 digs, and five service aces. Carlie Skelton finished with 13 digs. Skelton said, “Being able to beat High Point not once but twice this year was a huge confident boost going into the conference tournament. There was no better feeling than when the team rushed the floor after we clinched the win, especially on our senior night. It was truly something special and something I’ll never forget.”
“The staff and parents put on a special senior night dinner and gathering for us and we really all felt the love and support that they’ve been giving us all year. Grateful for the opportunity to play here all four years and so thankful for how supportive and caring this years coaching staff has been.” Skelton said.
Hannah Spevak had key digs in the second and third sets. Spevak said, “I’m so thankful for everything the coaching staff and the team has done for me over the years. Sweeping high point was the perfect way to end both senior day and conference play this season. I can’t wait to see what else this team is capable of this weekend in Asheville.”
Phoebe Wu had her fifth consecutive double-double with 12 kills and 14 digs, she also had three aces and one solo block. This week they head to Asheville, NC for the conference tournament, hosted by the Bulldogs. For game times and additional information visit: http://bigsouthsports.com
