BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Fresh off a third place finish in the Wake Forest
Black & Gold Invitational, Campbell volleyball will head to
High Point for a midweek nonconference matchup Tuesday at 7 p.m.
inside the Panthers' Millis Center.
Over the weekend, the Camels (2-9) posted a 1-2 record in the
tournament, highlighting by a 3-2 win over in-state rival East
Carolina on Friday night. Senior outside hitter Allyson
Goldbach torched the Pirates for 22 kills and 18 digs in that
match, both career highs. Goldbach was named to the all-tournament
team for her weekend's efforts after averaging 3.20 kills and 3.20
digs per set.
On the year, Goldbach leads a trio of Camels posting over 2.00
kills per set, as the Jupiter, Fla. native averages 2.44 a frame.
Senior Emily
Werner and sophomore Jordan
Reaves are also contributing 2.31 and 2.03 kills a set,
respectively.
Goldbach is also posted 2.31 digs per set, while juniors Lauren
Garza and Kelsey
Campbell combine for 6.41 digs per stanza.
The Panthers (2-8) are currently riding a stretch of eight
consecutive losses after winning their first two matches of the
season. Last weekend, High Point dropped contests to Arizona State,
UC Riverside and Utah Valley State at the ASU Sheraton Invitational
in Tempe, Ariz.
Senior outside hitter Megan Smith leads HPU with 3.67 kills and
2.74 digs per frame, while redshirt senior outside Audie Gonzalez
is posting 2.36 kills and matching Smith at 2.74 digs per set.
Senior libero Julie Hershkowitz leads the team in digs a 4.53 per,
while senior middle Anna Lott is the Panthers' leading blocker at
1.15 per frame.
When the two teams met last season in Buies Creek, the Camels' Emily
Werner tagged 18 kills to go along with a career-high 19 digs,
but Campbell fell 3-2 (25-22, 16-25, 25-22, 23-25, 12-15) to High
Point. Smith paced the Panthers with 21 kills and a career mark of
18 digs. The Camels are 9-7 all-time against High Point in a series
that dates back to 1997.
Campbell will be back in action this weekend, heading to the Port
City for the UNCW Hilton Garden Inn Beach Bash. The Camels will
square off against North Carolina State, Elon and the host Seahawks
over the two-day tourney.
