Match Two: Charleston Southern, 3; Campbell, 1

CHARLESTON, S.C.-After winning four of five to begin the 2007 season, Campbell volleyball will leave the Charleston Southern Invitational without a win, going 0-4 over the weekend.

The Fighting Camels took on tourney host, Charleston Southern today, Sept. 1, but the Buccaneers would leave the floor with a 3-1 advantage.

With the loss, CU drops under the .500 mark for the first time this season at 4-5, while the Bucs move to 2-2 on the year.

Freshman outside hitter Taylor Deering recorded another 16 kills and five digs while Atlantic Sun preseason team selection Femi Alabi collected 14 kills in the loss for the Camels. Alabi's 14 kills were a product of 27 attacks, as the junior middle blocker made only two errors for an average of .444. Emily Werner, another freshman outside hitter, recorded nine kills of her own in the match, also grabbing five digs.

Errors were, again, a problem for the offense, totaling 29 on attacks and 19 off serves. Deering and Werner combined for 18 of the team's attack errors, as the pair hit .159 and .000 in that order.

CSU's Amanda Hill troubled the Fighting Camels on both sides of play, notching 16 kills on 24 attempts (.542 percentage), committing only three errors, and 11 digs in a double-double performance.

Campbell started hot, taking the first game, 30-28, however, the Bucs would edge the Camels in game two, 30-27 in another tight set. Game three proved to be another close set, as Charleston Southern took another, 30-22, in a game where CU committed ten attack errors and the Bucs pounded 17 kills.

CSU shut the door in game four, though, hitting .400 (14 kills, 4 errors, 25 attempts) while the Camel offense struggled at .054 (12 kills, 10 errors, 37 attempts).

Up next for the Camels is a home match, as the East Carolina Pirates will come to the Creek in a Sept. 4 contest, slated for a 7 p.m. start inside Carter Gym.
