Charlotte downs Davidson, wins five straight matches

Davidson entered Halton Arena Tuesday night for a cross-town volleyball match up with the Charlotte 49ers.

The Wildcats headed into the match looking to break their four-game winning streak, while the Niners were on a four-game winning streak.

The Niners were able to defeat Davidson in three-sets (25-23, 25-20, 25-23)

In the opening set, Charlotte trailed behind the Wildcats, but a couple of kills and an ace from junior Kara Raker, the Niners were able to tie the set at 21.

The rest of the opening set continued to be tied until sophomore setter Sheri Davis made a kill and a Davidson error, gave Charlotte the set win.

Senior libero Kaitlin Knight recorded six digs en route to her 12 match digs.

The second set saw 13 ties, but once again the Niners were able to prevail.

Davidson maintained the lead in the third set, but a pair of kills from freshman Jenna Litoborski and senior co-captain Jenn Webb, Charlotte was able to walk away with the match.

Davis recorded seven kills and 29 assists. Litoborski and freshman Bianca Rouse each recorded nine kills.

The Niners will be in the City of Brotherly Love this weekend as they open the Atlantic 10 conference with Temple on Friday and La Salle on Sunday.
