Colonels Split Saturday Double-Header at Sawyer Camillo Memorial Volleyball Classic

LAFAYETTE, La. – The Nicholls State University women's volleyball team took Louisiana-Lafayette to five sets in their opening match on Saturday, falling 3-2, before downing Jackson State in straight sets to close out their weekend at the Sawyer Camillo Memorial Volleyball Classic.
 
In the first match of the day, the Colonels (3-3) grabbed an early 4-3 lead and never trailed for the remainder of the set, cruising to a 25-20 win over the host Ragin' Cajuns (2-4). Louisiana-Lafayette flipped the script in set two, never trailing, en route to a 25-20 win of their own. The Ragin' Cajuns jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the third set, running away with a 25-15 victory, but Nicholls responded in the fourth, recapturing momentum with a mirrored 25-15 win. In the pivotal fifth set, the Colonels held leads of 5-3, 7-4 and 9-5, but Louisiana-Lafayette used a 7-2 run over the final minutes to steal the match.

Jessica Bartczyszyn led Louisiana-Lafayette with 37 assists, Chanelle Gardner totaled 16 kills and Sydney Davis earned 14 digs in the win.
 
Despite playing back-to-back five-set matches to open the tournament, the Colonels appeared to have plenty of energy in reserve for their tournament-finale battle with Jackson State.
