Virginia’s volleyball team lost to Clemson and Georgia Tech in this weekend’s set of away games.
The Cavaliers (13-12, 5-8 ACC) struggled against the Tigers (18-6, 10-3 ACC), losing 0-3 (14-25, 12-25, 18-25) in Friday night’s match. No Cavalier hit double digits in kills, with senior outside hitter Beth Shelton leading the team with nine. Senior middle hitter Danielle Hepburn led Clemson’s attack, putting up a stifling .684 hitting percentage to accompany 13 kills and five blocks.
The Cavaliers also struggled in Saturday’s match against the Yellow Jackets (17-6, 9-4 ACC), which saw Virginia on the losing end of another sweep. Virginia fell to Georgia Tech 0-3 (19-25, 22-25, 16-25) with only three Cavaliers notching a positive hitting percentage. Freshman outside hitter Simone Asque led the Cavaliers with 14 kills, while setters senior Marlow Bruneau and sophomore Kelly Irvin contributed with 14 and 17 assists, respectively.
Senior middle Shannon Davis provided one bright spot for the Cavaliers in reaching a historic mark. With her two blocks on Saturday, she became the fifth Cavalier in the history of the program to tally at least 400 career blocks and 1,000 career kills. Her totals currently stand at 400 blocks and 1,052 kills.
The Cavaliers return home for the next two weekends, beginning with matches this Friday and Saturday against North Carolina and N.C. State.
